| ABOUT | The followers of the Dalai Lama escaped from Tibet to settle here.

Later they received funds from domestic and international voluntary organisations too. Today at this center (which was set up in 1959), you can see Tibetan men and women making exquisite handcrafted items. They also have a training centre to impart skills. |
