New Ralang Monastery or Ralong Palchen Choling is a Buddhist monastery of the Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism in southern Sikkim, northeastern India. It is located six kilometres from Ravangla.[1][2][3] Ralang Monastery has an extensive collection of paintings and thangkas.[1]
Construction[edit | edit source]
The old monastery underwent reconstruction in 1975-1981 and in 1995, this new monastery, known as Palchen Choeling Monastic Institute was built by the 12th Gyaltsab Rinpoche, which retained its Tibetan architecture.[1] The older Ralang Gompa or Karma Rabtenling monastery is located close west of this new monastery.[4]
Festival[edit | edit source]
Ralang Monastery is host to an annual festival, known as Pang Lhabsol when Mount Kangchenjunga is worshipped usually in September and ending in early December with the Kagyed.[1]
