Solution (By Examveda Team)

Spituk Monastery is an ancient Buddhist shrine, established during the 11th century. Nestled atop a high hillock, it overlooks the Indus River flowing nearby. The shrine was built under the patronage of Od-de, who was Lha Lama Changchub Od's elder brother and wanted a monastic community in the region. Spituk, a word for exemplary, derived from the translation of Rinchen Zangpo's statement, was chosen as the name of this monastery.
