The Mindrolling Monastery

Did you know that the Mindrolling Monastery in Dehradun was built by Tibetan refugees who fled to India in 1959? India welcomed over 150,000 Tibetan refugees and offered them colonies where they rebuilt their heritage with a recreated monastery, preserving their culture and faith in exile.

For people who want to visit, Clement Town in Dehradun Uttarakhand. There are shared vikrams from ISBT DDun. Best times of the day - afternoon maybe 2:30/3pm when the shrine rooms are open to public. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
