'The entire town and the monastery have got a facelift. Devotees are excited about the Dalai Lama's visit,' T G Rinpoche was quoted as saying by Indo Asian News Service. The Tawang monastery was established in mid-17th century by Mera Lama, a contemporary of the Great fifth Dalai Lama. The monastery is a virtual treasure trove of Tibetan Buddhist culture. The Parkhang hall within the monastery has a library that houses a good collection of rare Buddhist manuscripts and “thanka” paintings (traditional Tibetan paintings on cloth). The sixth Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso, was born 1683 at Urgelling Monastery, 5 km from Tawang.
