Notably situated high up on the Gokpori Ridge about 45km east of Lhasa, Ganden Monastery was finished on 1410 by Tsongkhapa himself. But the main hall was not completed until 1417, two years before his death. Ganden monastery is the first Gelugpa monastery in Tibet. Its tripa, abbot of the monastery, is actually the Throne Holder of Gelugpa, which is Panchen Lama and Dalai Lama's order.
