Description

Rumtek Buddhist Monastery is currently the largest in Sikkim. It is home to the community of monks and where they perform the rituals and practices of the Karma Kagyu lineage. A golden stupa contains the relics of the 16th Karmapa. Rumtek was at the centre of the Karmapa controversy with a lengthy battle being played out in the Indian courts regarding the stewardship of the monastery and its contents.
