Spectacularly jagged, arid mountains enfold this magical, Buddhist ex-kingdom.
Picture - perfect gompas, dramatically crown rocky outcrops, amid whitewashed stupas.
Colourful fluttering prayer flags spread their spiritual messages metaphorically with the mountain breeze.
Prayer wheels spun clockwise release more merit-making mantras.*
The roads wind past the mountains, desolate and quiet.
The only sound is the long continuous droning moan created by the strong wind.
It’s a place of breath-taking and unimaginable beauty.
Every mile looks different and is painted in various hues.
The awe-inspiring landscapes of Ladakh have been woven by me, into samples on an 8- shaft tabletop loom. There are two looks, one draws inspiration from the landscapes, while the other draws inspiration from the waterscapes.
