History and overview |
This monastery was built in the 17th century by Lama Deva Gyatsho of Zanskar who was a missionary of Nawang Namgyal, the king of Bhutan.[1] However, a smaller gompa had existed previous to the current building.
This monastery has large Thangka paintings, some of them over fifteen feet, and wall paintings depicting all the 84 siddhas of Buddhism.[1] In the month of June or July Chham is performed in the monastery.

gollark: According to xkcd, keeping updated would only require 5 printers worth of throughput, which is not very much in terms of bitrate.
gollark: I mean, it's probably way more complicated, but basically you can't send information faster than light that way.
gollark: Anyway, my knowledge of this is not very detailed, but IIRC quantum entanglement means that if you observe one particle the other one collapses into another state, or something like that, and you don't control which state is picked, so you can't send any data.
gollark: Yes. I think they might strip a bunch of the images, but with *no* media, just text content, it's 15GB.
gollark: You can't use quantum entanglement to actually transmit any data.
