Its restoration since 1990 has allowed for a revival of religious practices and cultural heritage. With over 150 monks in residence, Gandan Monastery serves as an active center for Buddhist learning, rituals, and community life. Visitors may witness various ceremonies and practices, providing a glimpse into the spiritual life of the monks.
