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.

The Lodhi Gardens are a 90 acre city park in #NewDelhi, India. Named after the fifth and final dynasty of the #Delhi sultanate, the Lodhi's, the gardens were founded in the 20th century. The #LodhiGardens became the park they are now in the 1930s, when the wife of a British expat, Lady Willingdon, cleared two villages in order to landscape a park in the area containing Lodhi era (late 15th/early 16th century) tombs. The gardens were originally named after her, but after Indian Independence in 1947, they were renamed the Lodhi #Gardens.
