Monastries In India

Arunachal Pradesh Rigyalling Monastery

Rigyalling Monastery in India is located in the district of Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh. Rated as one of the best centres for learning of Buddhism, this monastery has a renowned place among the different other Buddhist sacred places in the country. A few kilometres away from the Tawang Monastery in Tawang Chu valley of the district of Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, the place of Rigyalling Monastery is exquisitely draped in a green cover. It is nestled amidst rows and rows of pines, oaks, cedars, Salix and many other rare trees. It is a very quiet place with silence broken only when the birds chirp and the winds rustle the leaves.

History

Rigyalling monastery has been a relatively new structure with a short history, but the location of the Buddhist learning place is known for its quiet surroundings and greenery. It was established by Lama Changsey, in an effort to stop the growth of urbanisation from eroding into the forest. As a result, there came up an exotically impressive monastery, which has influenced the local beliefs and lifestyle.
