Question

3. Write short notes on the backwaters and the gompas.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The backwater is formed when a part of a river or a lake is bounded by a dam or any other obstruction, where there is almost no underwater current.

These backwaters may be a long series of canals and lagoons, as seen in Kerala and visited by the tourists for boating. Gompas are Buddhist monasteries or their seats of learning; where the young Buddhist monks achieve their lessons on Buddhist scriptures and even spend hours in meditation.

There are plenty of such gompas available various places of Northern India, Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan.
