Namgyaima स्तूप
Standing right in the centre of the Mc Leodganj is the Namgyaima Stupa. It was built as a mark of respect for Tibetan soldiers who lost their lives fighting for a free Tibet. The stupa is constructed in a similar fashion as the ones built during the reigns of Emperor Asoka in the 3rd century. It has an image of Sakyamuni Buddha adorning a small chamber. In contrast to the Tsuglagkhang, Namgyaima Stupa is instantly charming. There are rows of prayer wheels that are turned continuously by the incoming devotees. The whole atmosphere is filled with peace and well being.
