Diskit Monastery
The Diskit, or Deskit Monastery, is the biggest and the most established Gompa in the Nubra Valley of Ladakh. Underlying the fourteenth century, the religious community is known for its delightful design and its extraordinary situation on a slope, sitting above Diskit and the whole Nubra Valley. Inside the monastery, there is a sculpture of Cho Rinpoche (Crowned Buddha), a huge drum and numerous portrayals of the watchman gods of Buddhism, close by an enormous fresco of Tashilhunpo Monastery of Tibet. The most well-known element, in any case, is the 32 m tall sculpture of Maitreya Buddha in the monastery grounds.
