Sikkim's
near about 200 monasteries or Gompas belonging to the
Nyingma and Kagyu order have not only been influencing
the cultural heritage and lifestyle of the people, but
also demonstrates the ancient rituals in practice.
Devoted Lamas robed in red, chant ancient mantras to the
rhythm of drums and trumpets while soft lights flicker
from decorative lamps placed before statues of the great
Guru Padmasambhava. Feel the peace and quiet of being
one with nature and close to the almighty as sacred
words mingle with the whirring prayer wheels.
The Gompas
are adorned with life-like frescoes of hoary Buddhist
legends, rare silk and brocade Thangkas. Also preserved
here, are ancient Tibetan manuscripts, exquisitely
carved wood work and icons of silver and gold.
