{'famous tawang monastery': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'arunachal pradesh': [12, 0, 8, 12], 'himachal pradesh': [6, 1, 6, 4], 'sikkim': [1, 0, 0, 4], 'kashmir': [3, 1, 2, 2], 'jammu': [4, 2, 0, 3]}

The famous Tawang monastery is located in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. Arunachal Pradesh is a northeastern state of India, bordering the countries of Bhutan and China. The Tawang monastery is considered one of the largest and oldest monasteries in India, and it is a prominent Buddhist pilgrimage site.

Option 2, Jammu and Kashmir, is incorrect because the Tawang monastery is not located in this state. Jammu and Kashmir is a state in northern India, known for its beautiful landscapes and historical significance.

Option 3, Himachal Pradesh, is also incorrect because the Tawang monastery is not located in this state either. Himachal Pradesh is another state in northwestern India, known for its hill stations and scenic beauty.

Option 4, Sikkim, is also incorrect. Though Sikkim is a state in northeastern India and is known for its monasteries, the Tawang monastery is not located here.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1, Arunachal Pradesh.
