New Ralang Monastery or Ralong Palchen Choling is a #BuddhistMonastery of the Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism in southern #Sikkim, northeastern India. It is located six kilometres from #Ravangla. #RalangMonastery has an extensive collection of paintings and thangkas. The old #monastery underwent reconstruction in 1975-1981 and in 1995, this new monastery, known as Palchen Choeling Monastic Institute was built by the 12th Gyaltsab Rinpoche, which retained its Tibetan architecture. The older Ralang Gompa or Karma Rabtenling monastery is located close west of this new monastery. Ralang Monastery is host to an annual festival, known as Pang Lhabsol when Mount Kangchenjunga is worshipped usually in September and ending in early December with the Kagyed.
