💡 Solution & Explanation
In 1642, Phuntsog Namgyal was consecrated as the first Chogyal (monarch) of Sikkim by three revered Tibetan lamas who entered the region from the north, uniting the local Lepcha and Bhutia communities at Yuksom. Tumlong and Rabdentse served as later capitals rather than the site of the founding consecration. This event established the Namgyal dynasty, which ruled Sikkim until its integration into India in 1975.
