1. The Dalai Lama Temple Complex

A tangible aura of spirituality wraps this place in a warm coat of candid truth. You can soak up so much of Tibetan culture and religion here. The Tsuglakhang Temple, as it’s also called, is replete with chanting, temple bells, devotees in large numbers, and a powerful sense of the unknown. The Dalai Lama currently resides in India, owing to China’s greed to oust him from his position and take over Tibet like it’s striving to do parts of India near the northern border. The Dalai Lama is no stranger to this temple and, if you’re lucky, you just might meet him and earn his blessings.

A visit to this temple should certainly be one of your top things to do in Dharamshala. Gigantic statues dedicated to Buddhist monks like Avalokiteshvara and Padmasambhava reside herein. Lord Buddha on an elevated pedestal is the cynosure of the temple. A gold-plated prayer wheel inscribed with the chant ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’ is still used within the temple. Awe-inspiring halls, heart-calming pilgrimages, and small shops selling spiritual goods are all present at this serene hub of Buddhist worship.
