Thiksey Monastery

Thiksey Monastery, the largest gompa in central Ladakh, is a twelve-storied building, situated on the top of the hill in Thiksey.  Thiksey Monastery  comprises of four main structures: The assembly hall, the guardian god hallowed place shrine, Tara temple and Maitreyan Temple. Each of these structures are built with an intricate meaningful purpose which makes the place even more beautiful.  The most astonishing thing about the guardian hollow shrines is, that they are generally hidden behind veils; the veils are only uncovered during the Gustor festival and when there is turmoil in the hamlet.
