    History

    Following the 1959 Tibetan uprising, the Dalai Lama and many of his followers fled to India. The Indian government granted them refuge in Dharamsala, which became the center of the Tibetan government-in-exile. The Tsuglagkhang Complex was established soon after, serving as the main temple and residence of the Dalai Lama. Over the years, it has grown into a significant center for Tibetan Buddhism and culture. The complex has witnessed numerous teachings, ceremonies, and visits from dignitaries around the world. It stands as a symbol of the Tibetan people's resilience and their commitment to preserving their culture and traditions in exile. The museum within the complex showcases the history of Tibet and the struggles faced by the Tibetan people.
