| Phyang is one of the two Dringungpa Monasteries
in Ladakh. This monastery. 17 km west of Leh, holds its festival in July /
August, Like other monastic festivals, sacred dance - dramas or 'Chhams' form
the core of this festival. But the main attraction for the devotees is the
pilgrimage to the huge Thangka of Skyabje Jigten Gombo, founder of the
Dringungpa monastic order, which is kept on exhibition during the two-day
festival. |
