The Tawang Monastery seen from Tawang Town in Aranachal Pradesh, India.
The Tawang Monastery as seen from the town of Tawang; a former Tibetan Kingdom that was signed over to British- run India by way of the Simla Accord in 1914. It is now a part of the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, a fact fiercely disputed by China who do not recognise the Simla Accord and maintain that Tawang is theirs. The Dalai Lama fled to Tawang when escaping the Chinese Army in 1959.
