Items related to Cultural Heritage of Ladakh: Central Ladakh Volume...
Ladakh existed as an independent western Tibetan kingdom until 1834, when it was taken by the rulers of Jammu and Kashmir. To this date it continues to be one the the few places where Tibetan Buddhism, culture and way of life have continued to flourish unimpeded and uncorrupted. Having been closed to outsiders for many years, the authors of this text were the first to enter the country (wintering there from 1974-1975, when the religious life of Ladakh was particularly active). This work aims to be a testament to the richness and vigour of the Ladakh religion, culture and history.
