Perched at the stunning height of 10,000 feet above the sea level and located on the top of a hill, the Tawang Monastery is the second largest monastery in the world, after the iconic Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet.
This important site of Buddhist spirituality was founded by Merak Lama Lodre Gyatso around 1680-81, as per the desire of the 5th Dalai Lama. The structure and edifice of the monastery is unique and amazing. The entrance hall has a colorful gate, followed by beautiful murals of different saints and holy men painted on it.
Apart from the other massive gates that flank the entrance, the main building is like a large mansion and rises up to three floors and contain the various residential houses of monks, Lamas and students. The main temple of the structure, known as the Dukhang is actually the centerpiece and houses a large figure of Buddha sitting in the Lotus position.
