Little Nawang Tashi Rapten formally became a monk and joined the Dorjidak monastery on November 28.
He is believed to be the reincarnation of Taklung Tsetul Rinpoche, the head of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism.
A grand welcome ceremony was organised by Buddhists at Panthaghati in Shimla for him. Disciples gathered to take blessings of the boy monk.
