The Guru Lhakhang Monastery sits identifiable by the intricate, multi-colored prayer wheels lining its outer walls and the towering, gold-leafed spire that catches the morning light. Founded to honor Padmasambhava, the figure who brought Buddhism to the Himalayas, this space serves as a center for daily ritual practice. Monks maintain a constant cycle of chanting and butter lamp offerings here. A local artist spent three years painting the interior murals, depicting every stage of the teacher's life in vivid pigment.
