Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: One of the most significant Buddhist festivals, Trungkar Tsechu marks the birth anniversary of Guru Rinpoche (Guru Padmasambhava), the founder of Tibetan Buddhism who first introduced Buddhism in Sikkim and other neighbouring Himalayan regions during 8th century. The festival is celebrated with great pomp and show throughout the state; special prayers and rituals are held in the monasteries and huge processions are carried across the streets that are led by monks and lamas playing various traditional instruments. Namdroling monastery puts up a very large thangka (tibetan painting) which goes as high as five floors, after the ceremony the thangka is folded, meters long is carried by monks from ground to temple where hundreds of people old, young and children gather to touch it to give prayers and get blessings.
