Thiksey
is 20 km from Leh is the most picturesque monastery of
Ladakh. It belongs to Gelukpa order
(Yellow Hat). It is built like the Potala Palace of Tibet. This is very
famous among the tourists because it is situated on a splendid hill-top
perch, overlooking the green valley of the Indus, in the 12-storeyed Thiksey
monastry which is more than 800 years old. Within the Monastry are 10
temples, sixty lamps and a few nuns or the Chomos , whose heads like the
lama are shaved. The chambres of this institution are treasure troves of
gold and silver statues of Buddha, ancient swords, thankas and the Tantrik
wall paintings. There is also a huge brass pillar which was brought from
Tibet, engraved with Buddha's sayings. A fair is held here in the twelvth
month of the lunar year.|
