Torgya Festival - An epitome of the strength of faith
In a remote, barely accessible corner of India’s North Eastern extreme lies the historically important town of Tawang.
The headquarter of the Tawang district in the state of Arunachal Pradesh; it is located in close proximity to the Indo – Tibetan and Indo – Bhutanese borders.
Synonymous for most Indians with the Indo – China war of 1962, Tawang is a Buddhist majority town with a small population of Bengali shop owners as well.
In the month of January every year, when temperatures fall to as low as 15 degrees celcius below freezing, when heavy snowfall and the biting cold bring life to a standstill, a grand structure of Buddhist architecture dating to the seventeenth century gets abuzz with spiritual and religious fervour. Much like other Buddhist monasteries, it is located on a promontory on the outskirts of the city.
