The monastery is located atop Durpin Hill, one of the two hills of the town, and oversees the city with a breathtaking view. The architecture is modeled on the palace of [[Guru Rinpoche]] in [[Zangdokpalri]]. The monastery houses many rare scriptures that were brought into India after the invasion of Tibet in 1959.

==Developments==
The monastery was consecrated by the [[Dalai Lama]] in 1976. The [[shedra]], founded in 1983, has approximately 60 students. The monastery is the residence of [[Lama Chime Rinpoche]], a senior student of Dudjom Rinpoche.
