This holy sanctuary is glorified by the presence of some of the most magnificent Buddhist art. In fact, the Chillipam Gompa is the only Indian monastery that has been built exclusively by a Chinese architect. This is why a large amount of Chinese architectural evidence can be found across the parts of monastery. This magnificent monastery is built on a hillock near the town of Rupa.
