Rumtek Monastery ,Sikkim
This is the largest monastery in Sikkim situated near the capital city Gangtok at an altitude of around 4900 feet.Originally built in the 1700s .It was rebuilt by the 16th Karmapa who arrived in India in 1959 as his main seat in exile.His remains are contained in a Golden stupa here.
On the day we visited the resident monks were rehearsing for some function to be held the next day so I got a few interesting shots.
Might be worth a look in large.
I am suffering from severe cervical spondylosis and my doctor has asked me to keep away from the computer and phone for some time.So I will be mostly off for about a fortnight my friends.:-(See you all soon and take care.
