| Description | The temple of Drakmar (brag dmar / drag dmar) along with the neighboring temple of Ghagar (gad dkar) is located in a small hamlet in the centre of the Tarap (rta rab) valley that is known as Ghagar-Drakmar, referring to both religious institutions. Despite its high altitude of around 4.100-4.300 meters, the entire area is nowadays considered being part of Lower Dolpo.
Its collection of canonical manuscripts comprises altogether 116 volumes, with larger sets or individual volumes being produced and added to the collection at different times. A substantial part of the collection is constituted by a Sūtra collection (30 volumes) and a Tantra collection (18 of 20 volumes are present). Further, there are different sets of Prajñāpāramitā and other larger sūtras as well as collections of dhāraṇīs and related volumes. |
