If one happens to visit
Dehradun, a place with extremities in weather condition and a capital of Uttarkhand
state, it’s worth visiting the following place.
 |
| Stupa dedicated to descending day of lord Buddha |
Eight Rupees drive in a tri wheeled vikram, a local conveyance from the heart of Dehradun city lies a hamlet of Tibetan settlement. Clement town or the Buddha temple is a name referred by the native inhabitants despite it is known by Mendroling for the Tibetans or the Buddhist disciples.
Daily hundreds of
people from different religious background visit the place seeking solace in
either form. Buddhist come to pay homage to the monasteries and Buddha status
unlike other who come for recreation since the compound of Mendroling is free from
the suffocated city atmosphere.

| Goddess Yangchen -ma |
Several meter ahead of
reaching to the stupa, a majestic standing statue of Buddha painted with golden
in a blessing posture is another architect that drags the attention of the
visitors aside of temperature shooting to boiling point during the summer
season.
Mendroling goenpa
(Monastry) and a Shedra (Buddhist College) are well known for the Nyingma
doctrine and pretty good number of monks from Bhutan gets enrolled every year.
As a seldom visitor
with the variety in cultural diversity it seems that the stupa with a peaceful
surrounding is serving a purpose of recreational park for the youth besides of
its prime objective to flourish the doctrine of Buddha dharma.
Provided a surplus
time, visitor also enjoys shopping from the facilities offered by the Monastic
welfare shopping complex harboured in semi circular building located near the
stupa.
