Brama Dung Chung Ani Gompa
Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh Phone: Not AvailableAbout
The Brahma-dung-chung Ani Gompa in Tawang is one of the oldest Ani Gompa. The monastery currently houses about 45 nuns, who are known as Anis. It is a tradition among the local villagers to send at least one child per family to be brought up as a monk or nun. 'Ani Gompa' is a special type of Gompa meant only for girl children who become nuns. No male monk can be seen near these Ani Gompas and all you can see are sparkle eyed and clean-shaven nuns who are busy managing the day-to-day operations of the Ani Gompa. Though this Ani Gompa was small in size, it made up for that in its vibrant colours and different surroundings.
