KuenselBhutan unites volunteers to build a procession of 108 chortens in a single day

Project 108 intends to build a procession of 108 Jangchub Chortens along the Mau Chhu (Mau River) in Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) all in a single day. What’s more, the construction of the chortens will be completed entirely by volunteers. So, what exactly is a Jangchub Chorten, and what significance does the number 108 hold?
