Mindrolling Monastery

Located in Clement Town, Dehradun, the Mindrolling Monastery is one of the largest Buddhist centers in India. It is a visual masterpiece. The Great Stupa stands 185 feet tall and is said to be the largest stupa in the world.

The monastery grounds are vast and beautifully landscaped with gardens. The paintings inside the temple depict the life of Buddha and Buddhist philosophy in intricate detail and vibrant gold and red colors.

A 103-foot statue of Buddha stands in the complex, exuding peace. The atmosphere is incredibly serene. Monks in maroon robes going about their studies add to the authenticity.

There is a shopping complex nearby selling Tibetan artifacts. Food stalls serve delicious Momos and Thukpa.

It is a slice of Tibet in Dehradun. A place to find inner peace.
