Question

'Gompas' found in Ladakh are
1. Buddhist monasteries/temples
2. Variety of goat
3. Variety of shawl
4. Buddhist monks

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Buddhist monasteries/temples

• Gompas are Buddhist temples or monasteries common in the historical region of Tibet including parts of China, Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Ladakh.
• A monastery is a spiritual center where Buddhist ideas and beliefs are taught and where one leans to renounce their materialistic and sensual desires and cultivate the right attitude.
• Therefore, a gompa is a room where a Buddhist meditates and listens to the teachings. Although the designs and interior details of gompas vary from region to region, they all have a central prayer hall furnished with a Buddha statue and benches that nuns or monks use to engage in prayers.
• They also have living accommodations and some may be accompanied by any number of stupas (a mound-like structure used as a place of meditation).
