Monks at the Salugara Monastery chant sacred traditional Tibetan mantras and play long horns (dungchen), Tibetan cymbals known as Rolmo, and a Tibetan ritual drum for sacred music to create a peaceful, meditative atmosphere in Siliguri, West Bengal, India, on April 19, 2026. The Salugara Monastery, also known as The Great International Tashi Gomang Stupa, is an iconic Buddhist shrine established during the late 17th century as part of the Dalai Lama's legacy by Tibetan monks and followers of the Dalai Lama. This serene site stands as one of the region's premier Buddhist sites. The monastery houses an extensive library of Buddhist scriptures, a giant prayer wheel, a large prayer hall, and various ornate shrines. Its signature 100-foot stupa with intricate engravings is venerated by monks, while the Kalachakra Stupa embodies Buddha's teachings through its white dome-shaped structure. The monastery complex includes other structures like the main assembly hall.
