The Shashur Monastery was founded in the 17th century AD. Lama Deva Tyatsho of Zanskar is the founder of the monastery. It is located a little distance away from Keylong in the state of Himachal Pradesh. Lama Deva Tyatsho was actually a missionary of the King of Bhutan. Deva Gyatsho carried out the work of renovation and gave it the present structure.

The attractions of the monastery, which belongs to the Red sect of the Tibetan Buddhist, are the 15-feet `Thankha` and precious wall paintings presenting all the siddhas of Buddhism. In the month of June-July, during the Chham celebration, the lamas of the monastery celebrate the devil dance.
