The art of making trumpet was introduced to the village by lama Sangay Dorji in late 1980’s. When he was constructing Zangtopelri monastery in the village, he ran out of money. Therefore, he went to Samdrup Jongkhar to learn how to make trumpets for a living. The money saved from the sale of these instruments helped him to complete the construction of the monastery. He also brought the art of making Dung and Jaling back to the village upon his return.
