Stock Photo - Buddhist prayer flags flutter outside the Enalhagoan Monastery in Dzongu, North Sikkim, India. This remote monastery is located in a clearing deep in the forest and is occupied entirely with female Buddhist nuns. Sikkim has nearly 200 monasteries and Lhakhangs and the influence of Buddhism is felt in nearly every corner of the state. From the fluttering prayer flags to the sacred caves, lakes and stupas, the images and symbols of Buddhism retain a freshness undimmed by the passage of time. - DZONGU, SIKKIM, India, 08/11/2012
