Gemur Monastery, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Lahaul and Spiti district, India.
The monastery structure contains multiple prayer rooms and stupas, decorated with paintings, stuccos, and thangkas representing Buddhist teachings.
Founded in 1300, the monastery moved from a higher location to its current position on a lower hill in 1870 under local religious leadership.
The monastery exhibits sculptures of deities Marichi and Vajravarahi, along with miniature paintings that tell stories of Buddhist traditions.
Access requires a 700-meter walk from Gemur village, located 17 kilometers from Keylong on National Highway 505 in Himachal Pradesh.
The annual Tshechu Fair in June features the cham, a traditional masked dance performance that draws visitors to the monastery.
