	Tabo


Ajanta & Ellora Bodhgaya Gaya Kapilavastu Kaushambi Kushinagar Ladakh Lumbini Nalanda Nagarjunakonda Nagarjunasagar Orissa & Buddhism Rajgir Sanchi Sankisa Sarnath Sikkim Sravasti Tabo Tawang Vaishali	THE PLACE : Tabo is located at a height of 3050 metres in the magnificently isolated Spiti valley in Himachal Pradesh. Founded in 996 AD by the great scholar, Rinchensang Po, as an institution for advanced learning, Tabo celebrated its 1000th anniversary in 1996. Unlike most other monasteries in the Western Himalayas, Tabo stands on barren, flat ground and is built with mud brick. With breathtaking murals and stucco images, Tabo is often called 'The Ajanta of the Himalayas'. And here is the art that above all, is born of religion and deep faith. A small community of sixty monks resides here. The monastery has clay statues of the Buddha painted in the Kashmiri style.
