Pemayangtse is a place that is situated near the town of Pelling in the northeastern Indian state of Sikkim.Pemayangtse Monastery sits atop a ridge high above the Rangit river surrounded by the brilliant snow capped Himalayan peaks. The monastery houses numerous religious idols and other objects of worship, most of which are precious because of their antiquity. On the top floor of the monastery there is a wooden sculpture depicting the Maha Gurus Heavenly Palace "Sanghthokpalri". This master piece was completed by the late Dungzin Rimpoche, who took five years to craft it single handed. The main festival of the monastery is on the 28th & 29th day of the 12th month of the Tibetan calender, normally corressponding to the month of february. During these two days religious dances are performed and pilgrims come from all over Sikkim to watch them.
