	According to legend, [[Guru Rinpoche]], a 9th-century Buddhist saint had foretold the event that a Phuntsog from the east would be the next chogyal of Sikkim. In 1642, three lamas, from the north, west, and south went in search for the chosen person. Near present-day [[Gangtok]], they found a man churning milk. He offered them some refreshments and gave them shelter. So impressed were they by his deeds that they realised that he was a chosen one and immediately crowned him king. The crowning took place Norbughang near [[Yuksom]] on a stone slab in a pine covered hill, and he was anointed by sprinkling water from a sacred urn.

Phuntsog was a fifth generation descendant of [[Guru Tashi]], a 13th-century prince from the Mi-nyak House in [[Kham]] in Eastern [[Tibet]].

According to legend, [[Guru Rinpoche]], a 9th-century Buddhist saint had foretold the event that a Phuntsog from the east would be the next chogyal of Sikkim. In 1642, three lamas, from the north, west, and south went in search for the chosen person. Near present-day [[Gangtok]], they found a man churning milk. He offered them some refreshments and gave them shelter. So impressed were they by his deeds that they realised that he was a chosen one and immediately crowned him king. The crowning took place Norbughang near [[Yuksom]] on a stone slab in a pine covered hill, and he was anointed by sprinkling water from a sacred urn.

Phuntsog, along with the lamas, then converted the local [[Lepcha people]] to [[Buddhism]] and set about expanding his kingdom up to the [[Chumbi Valley]] in Tibet, parts of modern-day [[Darjeeling]] in the south, and parts of eastern [[Nepal]].

Phuntsog moved his capital to Yuksam and instituted the first centralised administration. The kingdom was divided into twelve [[Dzongs]], or districts under a Lepcha Dzongpon (governor) who headed a council of twelve ministers. During his reign Buddhism was consolidated as the established religion in Sikkim. He was succeeded by his son, [[Tensung Namgyal]] in 1670.{{cn|date=June 2020}}
