21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Buddhist Monasteries

this photo was taken during my leh Ladakh trip in 2022. Buddhist Monasteries are part of ladkh life & local people have faith & follows buddhist religion. These monasteries are beautiful, each one unique and special with their intricate designs and stunning location. Many monasteries are centuries old, passed down from monk to monk for generations. These monasteries are more than just buildings; they are places of worship and study, where monks live and work. They are also a tourist attraction, with visitors coming from all over the world to marvel at their beauty and learn about Buddhism.
