McLeod Ganj
McLeod Ganj or McLeodganj (pronounced /məˈklaʊd ˌɡʌndʒ/) is a suburb of Dharamshala in Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh, India.[6] The indigenous people of the Dharamshala area (and the surrounding region) are the Gaddis, a predominantly Hindu group who traditionally lived a nomadic or semi-nomadic transhumant lifestyle.As the mughal rule disintegrated, Sikh chieftain Jai Singh brought the region to his control and gave it to Sansar Chand of Katoch dynasty, legitimate Rajput prince in 1785.On 29 April 1959, the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso established the Tibetan exile administration in Mussoorie when he had to flee Tibet.[10] In May 1960, the Central Tibetan Administration was moved to Dharamshala when Jawaharlal Nehru, then Prime Minister of India allowed him and his followers to settle in McLeod Ganj.[17] McLeod Ganj is located in the Kangra Valley, in the shadow of the Dhauladhar mountains and forms a part of the town of Dharamshala.Tsuglag Khang, the Dalai Lama's temple with the statues of Shakyamuni, Avalokiteśvara and Padmasambhava is an important Buddhist site in the town.
