Enchey Monastery is a prominent Buddhist monastery located in the beautiful city of Gangtok. It is situated on a hilltop and is surrounded by lush green forests, offering a serene and peaceful atmosphere to visitors. The monastery is believed to have been built in the 19th century and is dedicated to Guru Padmasambhava, who is considered to be the founder of Tibetan Buddhism.
The architecture of Enchey Monastery is a blend of traditional Tibetan and Sikkimese styles. The main prayer hall of the monastery is adorned with intricate murals and colorful frescoes depicting the life of Guru Padmasambhava. The monastery also houses a collection of ancient Buddhist scriptures and artifacts, which are of great significance to the Buddhist community.
Enchey Monastery is a popular pilgrimage site for Buddhists and attracts a large number of visitors throughout the year. The monastery is particularly famous for its annual Chaam dance festival, which is held during the month of December. During this festival, the monks perform traditional masked dances and rituals, which are believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck and prosperity.
Apart from its religious significance, Enchey Monastery is also known for its scenic location and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll around the monastery and enjoy the peaceful ambiance or meditate in the tranquil surroundings.
