Geography

History and etymology
editThe place name "Nabji" came from Na Boe which literally means taking an oath. It is believed that in the 8th century Guru Rinpoche mediated peace between two Kings in this place and made them to take an oath to never create problems in future.[2] A temple which stands by this name still exists in this village. Khandro Tashi Khyidren, the daughter of King Sindhu Raja built on the sacred place of Guru Rinpoche.[3]
