Painting at Old Rumtek Monastery.
29 01 2007
The old Rumtek monastery (now entirely renovated) was built in the reign of the fourth Chogyal, is a short distance away from the new monastery. A Sikkimese lad who learnt his trade from the lamas has embellished it with monastic paintings in the traditional style. Enshrined here is a stone slab marked with the footprint of Guru Padmasambhava.
