 LIFE IN TIBETAN SETTLEMENTS

Centre of the Community: Usually the centre of the settlement is where all the amenities are based like the village shop, school, handicraft centre and health centre.  

It is a place for worship, meeting and work. 

The pictures below show elderly people gathering to pray at the shrine and chat. It is also convenient for mother to have their babies sent to crèche and kindergarten near their work place.
