The '''Langtang Tara temple''' ([[Wyl.]] ''glang thang grol ma lha khang'' or ''glong thang''), or '''Den Drolma Lhakang''' (wyl. ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>dan sgrol ma'') is a famous [[Tara]] temple in Langtang, at a place called Denkhog or Denma (wyl. ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>dan ma'') north of [[Dergé]] in [[Kham]]. The temple has three images of Tara, one of which is said to have spoken. It was established at the time of [[King Songtsen Gampo]] as one of [[Thirteen geomantic temples|the thirteen geomantic temples built to tame the demoness and guard Tibet]]<ref>The ''[[Great Tibetan Dictionary]]'' says it is one of the four 'region subduing temples', whereas [[Tertön Sogyal]]'s biography says it is one of the four 'border taming' (''tadul'') temples, and the [[Mani Kabum]] says it is one of the four 'farther taming temples' (''yangdul''), which, by looking at the supine-demoness superimposed on the map of Tibet, seems to be the correct attribution.</ref>.
