Tabo is another important
tourist place in the Buddhist pilgrimage list, situated in
Himachal Pradsesh. The place is more famous for the ancient
monastery, believed to be built before the Alchi monastery,
which has considerable similarity in terms of Kashmiri Art
paintings, which might be due to their originality, and being
routed to Tibetan Buddhism principles. The monastery is also
important for being an interesting place to study the growth
and flourish of Tibetan art during the 11th to 20th century.
