Tabo Monastery
Tabo Monastery, also known as Tabo Chos-Khor Monastery, is one of the oldest and most revered Buddhist monasteries in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh. Founded in 996 CE by the Tibetan Buddhist translator Rinchen Zangpo, the monastery has been a center of learning and spirituality for over a thousand years. It is often referred to as the "Ajanta of the Himalayas" due to its rich collection of frescoes, thankas, and ancient manuscripts.
The monastery complex consists of nine temples, four stupas, and 23 chortens, along with monks' quarters. The main temple, known as the Du-Khang or Assembly Hall, was rebuilt in 1983 and has hosted significant events, including the Kalachakra initiation ceremonies conducted by the 14th Dalai Lama.
The monastery is also known for its beautiful murals and well-preserved statues, which depict various tales from the Buddhist pantheon.
