Kanga Ajima Dyo Chhen located in Yetkha. This structure belongs to a group of Jyapus. Although the façade of this structure is insignificant looking, its religious nature is marked by the gilded metal doorway and the torana depicting Chamunda. This is an agam chhen. It is not a public building, but its worship is restricted to the members of a kin group, or guthi, and performed strictly accorting to the prevailing tradition.
