Description

Tashiding Monastery.

This important monastery belonging to the Nyingmapa order was built on top of a hill that looms up between the Rathong river and the Rangit river, where a rainbow emanating from Mount Khangchendzonga came to an end. At first only a small Lhakhang was built by Ngadak Sempa Chempo inthe 17th Century. The main monastery was built by Pedi Wangmo during the reign of Chakdor Namgyal and some of the statues built then still exist. Carved skillfully on flagstones surrounding the monastery are holy Buddhist mantras like "Om Mane Padme Hum" .
