Sight seeing

1. Tsuglagkhang Temple -he Tsuglagkhang Temple is the most renowned Buddhist monument in
McLeodganj. There are three magnificent images of Buddha, including a gilded statue of
Shakyamuni, statues of Valokitesvara and Padamasambhava. Situated next to the Tsuglagkhang
Temple, the Kalachakra Temple is open to the public. The Dalai Lama uses this temple as his base
for public teaching. The centre of the main Northern mural is a large painting of the historical
Buddha Shakyamuni surrounded by all 722 deities of the Mandala. The Namgyal Monastery was
founded by the Third Dalai Lama, and serves exclusively the Dalai Lamas. A unique feature of this
monastery is its diversity of practice. Namgyal monks perform prayers and rituals of all the major
schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
2. Norbulinka Institute: ust 4-kms from Dharamsala, Norbulinka was established to preserve and
teach the ancient Tibetan arts. The shady paths, wooden bridges, small streams tiny water falls
make this place look like heaven. Here one can watch the wooden carvings and the tangka
paintings, golsithing and embroidery being done. The nunnery close to the institute is a place where
women are taught the advanced levels of Buddhist philosophy.
3. John's Church: One of the most poignant memories of the British Raj is the church of St. John,
situated in the wilderness. This charmingly dressed stone church is located just 8-kms from
Dharamsala on the way to McLeod Ganj. Under the shade of Doedar branches, a memorial has been
made over the body of the British Viceroy, Lord Elgin who died at Dharamsala in 1863.
