Although all previous Ralung throne holders had been born into this branch of the Gya family desended from Lha Nyen and Lha Bum the elder brothers of Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje, Kunga Paljor was the first to be recognised as the actual rebirth of Tsangpa Gyare (1161-1211) the founder of the Drukpa School and an emination of Avalokiteshvara.
