The Chogyal was the hereditary ruler of Sikkim until 1975, when the monarchy was abolished.

The Chogyal is seen as a symbol of Sikkim’s unique culture and identity, and his legacy is still celebrated by many Sikkimese people.

• The Chogyal does not hold a symbolic or revered position in Sikkim’s tourism industry. The tourism industry in Sikkim is focused on the natural beauty of the state, and the Chogyal is not a major tourist attraction.
