Sera Chöding Hermitage

The hermitage contains multiple structures aligned from west to east, including a yellow retreat house and an assembly hall with preserved frescoes.

Je Tsongkhapa established the hermitage as his primary retreat center in 1419, where he wrote important Buddhist scriptures and conducted Tantric teachings.

The footpath leading to the hermitage displays painted rock carvings that depict various Buddhist figures, representing traditional Tibetan religious art.

A designated monk from Sera Monastery maintains the hermitage, which underwent reconstruction after 1959 and now receives regular visitors and pilgrims.

The site features a spring near meditation caves that local traditions associate with White Manjushri and attribute with healing properties.
