A
Glimpse Inside Tibetian History
The Tibet house is a must visit for those interested in Tibetian
history, an excellent resource centre about Tibet. The House has a
collection of artefacts brought from Tibet when the Dalai Lama fled
from there.
There are rare 'Thangkhas' or painted scrolls from 15th century
Tibetian monasteries, an exquisite collection of Buddha figurines, old
currency notes, objects of prayer, musical instruments and antique
jewellery. There is a library
with books on Tibet, Tibetian history and culture. A shop is also
located over here that sells clothes, jewellery, medicines, incense,
curios and Tibetian handicrafts.
The House also conducts lecture sessions and discussions on a regular
basis that are very informative and those wanting to enjoy an
intellectual evening can attend these sessions.
