The hermitage was built in two segments – the upper and the lower.
The lower part, which has an orange hut, had a compound wall where caves of Tsongkhapa (1357–1419), Rgyal tshab rje (1364–1432) and Mkhas grub rje (1385–1438) existed.
The “Ganden Feast of the 25th” (dga’ ldan lnga mchod), a commemoration of the death-date of Tsongkhapa, used to be observed here at a small hut.
This tradition was initiated by Byams chen chos rje (1354–1435), the founder of Sera who lived in the small hut.
A small kitchen and a large building (residence for monks) are also seen to the north of the compound wall.

The upper part of the hermitage had also a compound where the main temple, a kitchen, a bla ma’s residence, rooms for visiting Sera monks existed.
A temple to Tsongkhapa was also here, which had thousands of small pressed-clay tablets (tsa tsa) of him.
