Dargye is a Geluk monastery that was founded in the late seventeenth century by the First Hor Choje, Ngawang Puntsok. Some sources credit Jedrung Sherab Wangpo with the foundation of the monastery in the mid sixteenth-century, but this appears to be incorrect. Dargye is the largest of the so-called Hor monasteries in the region, which were established under the paronage of the Ganden Podrang government in Lhasa.
