The Tabo monastery in Spiti Valley being the oldest surviving monastery of Himachal Pradesh, this monastery has been carrying the rich Buddhist legacy since 996 AD. The monastery houses nine temples, four decorated Stupas, and cave shrines. Each and every wall of the Tabo monastery is decorated with carved walls, beautiful frescos, priceless collections of thankas (scroll paintings), manus- cripts, and well-preserved statues. The monastery was restored in 1975 after it was hit by a huge tremor which almost damaged the architecture. The site is currently protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. The monastery is at its best during the Chakhar Festival, which is dedicated to the peace and happiness of all.
According to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, "The most important is Tabo, noted for its exquisite quality of paintings and stucco images that adorn its walls. These works of art delightfully express the vigour of the spread of Buddhism from India to Tibet and the dynamic mingling of cultures".
