 The "gompa" is the only one in Ladakh belonging to the Sakyapa and is said to be one of the few which is seeing an increase of monks in recent years.Most of the buildings are, apparently, rather dilapidated but there is a new assembly hall or "du-khang" which was built in 2005 and which has very colourful paintings and a Sakyamuni Buddha as main statue.There is a small chapel on the top story containing images of Sakya Pandita and other Sakya lamas.
