Wanted to be in complete backdrop of Asia’s oldest and second biggest monastery... #tawangmonastery The Monastery is the second biggest and oldest in Asia and is known as the Tawang Ganden Namgyal Lhatse i.e., the celestial paradise of divine site chosen by the horse was founded by Merag Lodroe Gyamtso in the year 1680-81. His holiness Dalai Lama gave him a painting of goddess Palden Lhamo to be kept in the monastery. The 8 m high glided statue of Lord Buddha dominates the sanctum. The great rotating prayer wheels, priceless thangkas, the drone of monks in prayer, sputtering butter lamps are an evocative vision. The Tawang Monastery has a a valley view and mystical stairs all round residential building for the monks, many monks are of quite young age around 3, you will find them running around in holy maron wraparounds, a library, a museum and school for the basic education. Pierced atop a hill dominating everything around and below it is an enormous yellow-roofed Tawang monastery which was originally a large and fortified complex strategically sited where the caravan routes from Tibet, Bhutan and West Kameng met. Tawang has warmth and spirited atmosphere when you walk around. Prayer flags and Buddha statue placed to remind you that you are in peaceful surrounding and need not have to worry for anything. Just feel your breath and enjoy the moods of mountains all around you with colorful monasteries small and large and prayers wheels incase you are stuck with some stress.
