WHAT DOES CHOGYAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chogyal

Chogyal

The Chogyal were the monarchs of the former kingdoms of Sikkim and Ladakh, which were ruled by separate branches of the Namgyal family. The Chogyal, or divine ruler, was the absolute potentate of Sikkim from 1642 to 1975, when monarchy was abrogated and its people voted in a referendum to make Sikkim India's 22nd state. However, Chogyal meaning "Dharma Raja" or "Religious King" is a title which was also conferred upon a special class of temporal and spiritual rulers. In Bhutan the Chogyal were also known as the Dharmaraja, or Kings of Dharma, and Zhabdrung. In this context, the Chogyal was a recognized reincarnation of Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the 17th Century Tibetan-born founder of Bhutan. A position of supreme importance, the Bhutanese Chogyal was above both the highest monastic authority, the Je Khenpo, and the highest temporal ruler, the Deb Raja or Druk Desi. There were two main lines of Zhabdrung incarnations in Bhutan. The remainder of this article deals with the Chogyal of Sikkim. For Bhutan, see: Zhabdrung Rinpoche.
