Tsuklakhang monastery, Buddhist monastery in East Sikkim district, India.

The palace monastery features a grand assembly hall containing Buddhist scriptures, altars dedicated to Buddha, and numerous decorative elements reflecting Tibetan architectural design.

Founded in the early 20th century by the Chogyal of Sikkim, this monastery became a central location for royal ceremonies, including coronations and traditional celebrations.

The monastery holds the Pang Lhabsol festival in September and the Kagyad celebration in December, gathering the local community for traditional religious observances.

Located at coordinates 27.326°N and 88.615°E, the monastery welcomes visitors who can reach the site through various transportation options from the city of Gangtok.
