Namdroling Tibetian Monastery is a monastery on the way to
Kushalnagar in Coorg. The beauty of this place begins right from its gate.
There are beautiful buildings with Golden colour as a dominating colour in all
the buildings which adds to the beauty of the entire place. A group of Tibetian
monks reside and practice their rituals and lifestyle in this place. A must
admit factor is the well – maintained ambience of this place.

| The Beautiful Monastery! |
If I say that only monks stay here, I would be wrong because
equal importance is given to birds and plants. The garden is properly
maintained and the birds are nurtured according to their needs. The buildings
of this place have a special beauty and spending time here will give a pleasant
experience. This is one of the best places to relax and forget the worries and
tensions of life.
The main building showcases lots of paintings related to
Tibetian culture and lifestyle. We can even see the instruments they use for
daily prayers and rituals. Three statues (made of gold) of Lord Buddha in
different poses can be seen in the main building where the prayers take place.
Even the model of the place is displayed there. The prayer hall is beautiful
and well – decorated. The temple has His Holiness, Shri. Dalai Lama’s
photograph displayed as the main attraction.

This place is located in Bylakuppe in Mysore. This monastery
is a home to the Sangha Community of over five thousand lamas (Both monks and
nuns), a religious college (or shedra) and hospital. The best way to access
this place is to travel through Mysore – Coorg Road. A visit to this monastery
indeed reveals the other side of the life of a human being. As William Keats
says, “Beauty lies in the eyes of the Beholder”, It is us who are to decide
whether a place is beautiful or not. Some places may appeal to some people
while it may not appeal to others.s
