[QUOTE="kumarvairab, post: 589, member: 1"] I’ve seen people meditating quietly by the Vajrayogini shrine (first floor) and monks doing practice near the statue. [B]Does the Vajrayogini pilgrimage site allow drop-in meditation for spiritual travelers or retreat seekers?[/B] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="600px" alt="Pharping Vajrayogini"]955[/ATTACH] [SIZE=3]Photo: [/SIZE][URL='https://www.instagram.com/krmaharjan/'][SIZE=3]@krmaharjan[/SIZE][/URL][/CENTER] As per my research, might be for a short time, YES. This place allows for meditation. Pilgrims and practitioners often sit in silence or personal meditation around the temple and nearby caves without formal retreat registration — it’s not a commercial “retreat center drip-in anytime” situation. Visitors quietly practicing isn’t unusual. [HR][/HR] [HEADING=3]NOTE:[/HEADING] Start a gentle conversation with the Pujari upstairs first.
