The Book of World Records officially recognizes “TEMPLE OF MONARCH – World’s First Living Temple Dedicated to the Living Monarchs.” Established by Sonam Tshering in Thimphu, Bhutan, this record marks a unique cultural and artistic achievement. The record is defined by the permanent transformation of an abandoned office room into a living, functional temple exclusively honoring living monarchs, without the presence of deity statues. The space is actively used for daily reverence, making it a living institution rather than a symbolic installation. After thorough verification of evidence, originality declaration, and compliance with TBWR norms, the achievement was confirmed as a World Record for its global uniqueness and cultural significance.
