On November 8, 2026, monks from the Tibetan monastery Drepung Gomang, led by Geshe Lharampa Lobsang Shakya, arrived in the village of Yashkul and began construction of a Green Tara sand mandala. They first performed the “Salang” ritual to purify and consecrate the site, followed by a lecture on the basics of Buddhism. Additional activities included a lecture on the benefit of prostration practice and the White Tara long-life ritual “Dolkar Tsedub.” This follows the completion of a Yamantaka mandala ritual in Lagan earlier in the week.
