The Thongdrel has prominent image of Guru Rinpoche and his lineage. To his right is Zombala, the God of wealth and to the left is Norjuma, the Goddess of the wealth. Ugyen Norlha is one of the 13th manifestations of Guru Rinpochee. Praying to Ugyen Norlha is believed to empower people to regain luck and wealth among others.
