Situated at the heart of Mcleod Ganj, Namgyalma Stupa is an old Buddhist structure that was built to honour the Tibetan soldiers, who died during the freedom struggle of Tibet. The structure resembles the one built during the 3rd century by King Ashoka, and the stupa portrays an image of Sakyamuni Buddha. Built in a hybrid Indo-Tibetan style, the Buddhist Stupa is surrounded by prayer wheels which devotees turn round while reciting mantras as they move around the shrine.
