The Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts (TIPA) was founded in 1959 by the 14th Dalai Lama upon his arrival in India, initially as the Tibetan Music, Dance and Drama Society. Its primary mission is to preserve and promote Tibetan artistic heritage, particularly opera (Lhamo), dance, and music, which were threatened following the Chinese occupation of Tibet. The institute offers performances, workshops, and a small museum showcasing Tibetan culture and traditions. It serves as a vital center for maintaining and passing on these art forms to future generations, and is a significant cultural landmark in Dharamsala.
The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.
This is a must visit place in the city and it is beautiful. The place is centrally located and you can easily reach it. The stories and the facts of this place are very interesting and make way for an entertaining tour.
