AbstractHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Alchi Monastery or Alchi Gompa is a Buddhist monastery, known more as a monastic complex (chos-'khor) of temples in Alchi village in the Leh District, of the Indian state under the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council of Jammu and Kashmir. The complex comprises four separate settlements in the Alchi village in the lower Ladakh region with monuments dated to different periods. Of these four hamlets, Alchi monastery is said to be the oldest and most famous. It is administered by the Likir Monastery. Alchi is also part of the three villages (all in lower Ladakh region) which constitute the ‘Alchi group of monuments’; the other two villages adjoining Alchi are the Mangdu and Sundang Chung (now in Zanskar district). The monuments in these three villages are stated to be of “unique style and workmanship’, but the Alchi monastic complex is the best known The monastery complex was built, according to local tradition, by the great translator Guru Rinchen Zangpo (958-1055 AD) around 1000 AD, although inscriptions in the preserved monuments ascribe it to a Tibetan noble called Kal-dan Shes-rab later in the 11th century.
