Just outside of Dehra Dun is the relatively new
Mindrolling Monastery, located in the largest Tibetan settlement in northern India and home to the largest stupa in the world.

Monks head to afternoon prayer.

A worker keeps the buildings looking new.

The view while circumambulating the monastery.

Visitors are dwarfed by the stupa.

Signs remind visitors (especially couples) that this is a holy place.

Long strands of prayer flags and bells.

This place is absolutely stunning in the sunlight.

Flowers.

A fountain.

A massive statue of the Buddha.
And then my camera battery was exhausted. I'll have to return for more pictures and to go inside the stupa, which I was told later is "the best part."
