Memorial Chorten, located in Thimphu, Bhutan, is one of the most prominent religious landmarks in the country. Constructed in 1974, it was built in memory of the third King of Bhutan, Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, who is often referred to as the "Father of Modern Bhutan." Unlike other stupas, it does not enshrine human remains but houses a photograph of the king in ceremonial dress. The chorten, or stupa, serves as a place for daily worship and is adorned with intricate carvings and colorful paintings depicting Buddhist deities and symbols.
