[3][4] The monastery has a statue of Cho Rinpoche (Crowned Buddha) in the prayer hall, a huge drum and several images of fierce guardian deities.

The school has computer facilities and teaches science subjects, in English, to Tibetan children of the region.

[4] Ladakh was then ruled by King Grags-pa-'bum-lde (1400–1440) and his brother, who unsuccessfully attempted to usurp Nubra Valley, which was under a local ruler named Nyig-ma-grags-pa.

During the rule of King Blogros-chog-idan (1440–1470) who had even controlled western Tibet, Panchen Lha-btsun - a resident of Nubra Valley by birth - studied in Tibet and later became a regent to the founder of Tashilhunpo Monastery and finally during his last stage of life returned to Nubra.

During the reign of Jams-dbang-rnam-rgyal, historical records indicate that a regular tribute payment was made by the Nubra people to the king.

Monks were specially engaged to recite hymns of Mani-tung chur in Nubra Valley and in other surrounding areas.

[3] Today, the wrinkled head and hand of the demon are believed to lie inside a temple in the monastery.

[10] The photong or official residence of the chief lama of Nubra is located at the foot of the hill, where there is also a very large statue of Jampa (Maitreya) Buddha.

[7] This impressive 32 metre (106 foot) statue on top of a hill below the monastery, faces down the Shyok River towards Pakistan and, according to Tsering Norphel, chairman of the committee that commissioned it, most of its funding came from local donations.

The head of the Gelugpa, Ganden Thipa (the reincarnation of Tsongkhapa), and abbott of the Rizu monastery, gave 8 kg of gold for its decoration.

Nophel says the statue was built with three main functions in mind - protection of Diskit village, prevention of further war with Pakistan, and world peace.

A large idol of Tsong Khapa is deified there and a Gelugpa yellow hat crowns the image.

Lungta has trained the monks of the monastery in computer skills and in the English language so that they could in turn teach the children of the school.

Further additions to the school library in the form of dictionaries, encyclopaedias and English teaching materials are being provided.

On this occasion, images made of dough are thrown out to deter any disaster occurring and to usher peace and prosperity to the people.
