Do-drul Chorten, Buddhist stupa in Gangtok, India

The Do-drul Chorten features a golden dome atop its structure and contains religious texts, mantras, and sacred objects within its chambers.

Trulshig Rinpoche constructed this stupa in 1945 following the vision of Dud-Zom Rinpoche to establish a Buddhist sanctuary in Sikkim.

The complex includes 108 prayer wheels that Buddhist practitioners rotate while reciting mantras as part of their spiritual practice.

Located 500 meters from the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology, the stupa welcomes visitors throughout the day without requiring entrance fees.

This religious center houses a monastery that accommodates 700 monks who study Buddhist teachings and maintain the sacred traditions.
