“A tribute to the foundation that have built the World’s Largest Tribute and the World’s First Temple of Monarch”

Thimphu, Bhutan: Ola’s Tribute & Temple of Monarch, internationally recognized as the world’s largest tribute to living monarchs, has appointed Geshe Phuntsho as its Honorary Chairman in recognition of his lifelong sacrifices and contribution to the foundation of the organization.

According to a statement issued by the organization, the appointment is a symbolic and emotional tribute to Geshe Phuntsho, who played a key role in supporting and guiding the family through difficult times. The organization stated that his unwavering commitment and sacrifices helped shape the journey that later led to the establishment of the globally recognized tribute platform.

The organization noted that the recognition reflects gratitude for years of “unseen endurance and sacrifice,” describing Geshe Phuntsho as the “foundation behind the legacy.” Founder and CEO Sonam Tshering said the appointment was a voluntary gesture of appreciation from both the family and the organization for his instrumental role in their achievements.

Ola’s Tribute & Temple of Monarch stated that while Geshe Phuntsho will serve in an honorary capacity, operational leadership and executive authority will continue to remain under Founder and CEO Sonam Tshering. The appointment applies exclusively to the organization and its Temple of Monarch initiative.

The organization is internationally known for holding four world records and for its global outreach through more than 1,500 international media features dedicated to honoring living monarchs.

Appointment of Ola’s Honorary Chairman – Geshe Phuntsho.

“A tribute to the foundation that have built the World’s Largest Tribute and the World’s First Temple of Monarch”

APPOINTMENT OF HONORARY CHAIRMAN – A Tribute to the Foundation That Never Let Us Fall.

Ola’s Tribute & Temple of Monarch—recognized as the World’s Largest Tribute to Living Monarchs, a four-time world record holder, recipient of Multiple International Awards with more than 181 Million reach, 1566 news features 100% outside Bhutan and home to the world’s first temple dedicated to living monarchs—proudly and humbly announces the formal appointment of Geshe Phuntsho as the “HONORARY CHAIRMAN”.

Geshe Phuntsho, the eldest among us, stood where no one else could. In the absence of guidance and in the face of hardship, he became both father and the protector, carrying the weight of an entire family on his shoulders. While others lived their own lives, he chose responsibility. While others were cared for, he became the one who cared—for all of us.

We are who we are today because of his sacrifices. Every step we have taken, every achievement we have reached, and everything that stands today under Ola is a direct reflection of the life he gave up for us. Ola is not just an initiative—it is the product of who he made us.

What the world sees today—the world’s largest tribute, the temple of monarch, a living symbol of devotion, and the global reach of Ola’s Tribute—is not built from ambition alone. It is built from years of silent endurance, unseen struggles, and sacrifices carried without recognition. What has bloomed today is the fruit of his hardships.

“In every sense, this world we have reached belongs to him.”
This appointment is a voluntary and heartfelt offering from his family and from Ola—a gesture of gratitude for a lifetime that gave everything so we could become something. From this moment forward, all that Ola has achieved and will continue to achieve stands as a reflection of his foundation.

One principle remains clear: in all matters of work, Sonam Tshering, Founder and CEO, will retain full authority to lead and execute the vision in his own way and style.

This appointment applies solely to Ola’s Tribute & Temple of Monarch and does not extend to any other business under Ola’s banner.

This is a gratitude for the foundation that never let us fall.
