JIRANGA (Largest Monastery in Eastern India) | KHASADA WATERFALL | TAPTAPANI HOTSPRING | Odisha

About Monastery --
The Padmasambhava Mahavihara Monastery, also known as Thupten Mindolling Monastery located atJeeraga , Gajapati district, in the state of Odisha, India, as the main monastery belonging to the Ripa Lineage. It is said to be the largest Buddhist monastery in Eastern India. It was inaugurated by the Dalai Lama in January 2010.
The Chinese invasion and occupation of Tibet in 1959 forced about 85,000 Tibetans including their religious and political head the 14th Dalai Lama to seek shelter in India and other places. Then Chandragiri, about 87 kilometers from Berhampur a southern town of Odisha, was chosen as one of the main six camps / settlements established in the country. The Tibetan refugees who stay at Jiranga or which is also popularly known as Chandragiri, Odisha, call this place as Phuntsokling, which in Tibetan translates to -“Land of Happiness and Plenty”. Accord for the monastery was given by the Dalai Lama in 1998. The foundation stone was laid in 2003
.
The first batch of Tibetan’s arrived in Chandragiri on 1st May 1963. The Tibetan’s have named this place “Phuntsokling”- which means land of plenty and happiness.
The major attraction is the Padmasambhava Monastery popularly known as the Jirang Monastery. It is the largest monastery in Eastern India. It is a residence cum college for budding Buddhist monks who come from all over India here to study.
About Hotspring--
A hot spring, hydrothermal spring, or geothermal spring is a spring produced by the emergence of geothermally heated groundwater onto the surface of the Earth. The groundwater is heated either by shallow bodies of magma (molten rock) or by circulation through faults to hot rock deep in the Earth's crust.
Hot spring water often contains large amounts of dissolved minerals. The chemistry of hot springs ranges from acid sulfate springs with a pH as low as 0.8, to alkaline chloride springs saturated with silica, to bicarbonate springs saturated with carbon dioxide and carbonate minerals. Some springs also contain abundant dissolved iron. The minerals brought to the surface in hot springs often feed communities of extremophiles, microorganisms adapted to extreme conditions, and it is possible that life on Earth had its origin in hot springs
Humans have made use of hot springs for bathing, relaxation, or medical therapy for thousands of years.
