Tango Monastery, which was originally built in 1689 by the 4th Druk Desi Tenzin Rabgye, houses the Institute of Advanced Vajrayana Studies. Work on the Tango Utse started in December 2018, as the first phase of Tango Restoration Project implemented by the Department of Culture and Dzongkha Development. The Reconstruction of the Utse was completed in November this year.
Tango Monastery is a religious site of great national importance. Besides being a historic landmark and an important school of Buddhism, the monastery houses ancient debri paintings of the Menlug tradition dating back to the 17th century. These paintings, using mineral pigments and intricate gold gildings, are a national and global heritage. The reconstruction work was carried out with great care to ensure the structural integrity of this historic monument. The efforts resulted in the successful reintegration of 700 square meters of wall paintings, which were detached for preservation, back into the Utse- a pioneering achievement that reflects Bhutan’s commitment to preserving its cultural heritage for posterity.
The restoration work was implemented by Department of Culture and Dzongkha Development,MoHA.

A superb documentary with superb English subtitles to help us understand the history of Tango Monastery and what has been done over the years to preserve, reconstruct and restore its heritage, the Tango mural wall paintings. A truly magnificent work of artistry, skill and dedication from all who were involved in its preservation and restoration works, supported by the Royal Family and Government of Bhutan.

Bhutan have to preserve the traditional art of stone masonry..the bangali style of laying line of stone on anonther line with cement in between ( seen in the new town road and drain construction) is pathetic
