Tragor

Tragor is a monastery and settlement in the Lhunze country of southern Tibet, near the Lhunze River. The monastery has roots reaching back to the centuries when Buddhism was established in Tibet; a local tradition associates the Indian master Lawapa with religious practice here. It later became a Gelug institution and the seat of the Dezhu incarnation lineage. Several holders of that lineage served as Ganden Tripa, the head of the Gelug school.
