The frescoes here depict different stories from the Buddhist scriptures and have a collection of thangkas (scroll paintings), manuscripts, well-preserved statues, frescos and extensive murals which cover almost every wall. The place now has a monastery called the Tabo Monastery which was founded in 996 C.E. and protected by the Archaeological Survey of India.
