I'm not the spiritual type, though I do appreciate the whole nature of it. So the monks chanting in their hall was really amazing to see and all of us were thrilled.

Interestingly the monks here include a large number of quite young people and they are clearly easily distracted by tourists. I don't think they are quite as engaged in the rituals as the older ones.

We are Sikh by religion and have visited so many Gurudwara's in India and abroad. We had never expected to find a City which was built around one and one that was so wonderfully beauitful. The place was built by then Maharaja of Patiala, when he first came to this little town. The place has Electricity Connection #1 but now since not too many people visit here, the Gurudwara Committes of India have neglected this place completely. There was a Granthi there, voluntarily living there, educated and suppoting his family there while he takes care of this little place of History and Spirituality. No one is supporting this place yet, it was touching to see him take care of this place like his own. In all, must see place and not to be missed and if you are lucky to Find Pritpal Ji there, you might even get to hear the whole story. See more..

We entered the complex as the only tourists and the temples were locked. We checked with the shop outside and he called the lama. The lama took us on a personal tour of the monastery and its temples though he could not answer many of our questions pertaining to religion & customs. The murals are breathtaking, colorful, vivid, decorative but most of them you would need to focus as lights are not permitted. No photography is permitted.
