Description

Kinnaur, lying on the ancient trade route between India and Tibet and surrounded by the majestic Himalayan, Zanskar and Dhauladhar ranges, has preserved their rich cultural heritage in the form of monumental remains, including temples both wooden and stone, Buddhist monasteries and lhakhangs; mchod rtens, mani-walls memorial stones; etc. These are not merely the centers of worship but also are the hubs of religious, artistic, social and economics activities. The traditional art of wood carvings is best reflected in their wooden galleries and arched door panels, which are still alive in the hills. Not only that, but the Buddhists and Hindus live in perfect harmony, symbolizing the traditional brotherhood and friendship of the people of both faiths. Here is an attempt to outline the basic information by way of photographs of the existing Buddhist monumental heritages preserved by the local inhabitants for centuries. This work would be found useful for the lay visitors as a valley guidebook.
