"Ladakh-Chosen to wear saffron"


7 of 8

Monks sit in a Ladakhi monastery surrounded by paintings of ancient Buddhist teachings as they prepare for the Hemis festival to begin in June 2004. The isolated area of Ladakh first opened to tourists in 1974, and is the home to one of the last surviving authentic Tibetan Buddhist cultures.
