Gonggar Choide Monastery, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Gangdoi, China
The Gonggar Choide Monastery features a three-story structure with a main shrine, monastic college, and residential quarters spread across multiple buildings.
Founded in 1447, the monastery received enhancement in the 16th century through wall paintings from the Khyenri school created by artist Jamyang Khyentse Wangchuk.
The monastery maintains a collection of traditional Buddhist art, including statues and murals depicting religious practices within its 64-pillared assembly hall.
The monastery opens daily for visitors who can observe the current population of 30 resident monks practicing traditional Buddhist teachings and artistic training.
An annual festival presents Buddhist rituals and dances connected to the Mandala between the 6th and 15th days of the first lunar month.
