I rushed outside and began making my way to the Tawang monastery. I was kind of surprised to find that monastery in Tawang was completely deserted.
Wondering, what’s going on, I cross the entrance and stepped in. Once inside the monastery, my eyes fell on a small yet beautiful museum located on my right. In front of me was a vast court yard, one of the edge of which stood the beautiful Tawang pagoda.
It was interestingly to see 6th Dalali lama, which is exactly what the museum was all about. The ticket was dirt cheap for the treasure trove of information and interesting collection which could be found inside the Tawang monastery museum. There were two floors on the museums, full of Buddhist and Dalai lama artefacts. What struck my interest were lot of items of personal collection of Dalai lama.
Next on the Tawang monastery itinerary was the visit inside the Pagoda. The pagoda was beautifully decorated from inside. I couldn’t help myself admire the colourful Buddhist images, the carved pillars and painted ceilings. It was all so surreal, and to top it off I was all alone enjoying this beauty.
Through the courtyard, I floated like a butterfly, I remembered I was on clock, the Sun was right above my head by now. It was now time to see actually the place where all the Lamas study. The building behind the pagodas was the school, I could clearly hear the guruji scolding his pupils.
And the language of the medium? No surprise there … Hindi.
