Photos Of Stakna Monastery
Leh, Ladakh, India
History and Meaning: Stakna Monastery, or Stakna Gompa, is a small yet significant Buddhist monastery located about 25 kilometers from Leh on the left bank of the Indus River. It was founded in 1680 by the great scholar-saint Chosje Jamyang Palkar and belongs to the Drukpa Kagyu (Red Hat) sect of Ti betan Buddhism. Its unique name, Stakna, literally means "Tiger's Nose" because the hillock on which it is built is said to resemble the nose of a tiger, a powerful and auspicious symbol. The monastery is known for its serene setting and is currently managed by the Je Khenpo of Bhutan, making it the only Bhutanese Drukpa monastery in Ladakh. Spiritual and Artistic Wealth: The main assembly hall is adorned with magnificent paintings and a silver-plated chorten (stupa). It houses a respected 7-foot-tall statue of the Buddha and numerous small, exquisite statues. The monastery also boasts an excellent collection of thangkas, murals, and artifacts, including an image of Avalokitesvara from Assam, reflecting cross-regional Buddhist connections. Peaceful Location: The remote, picturesque setting on a small rise above the fertile plains of the Indus Valley offers a uniquely peaceful atmosphere. The views of the Indus plain and the distant Hemis Monastery are stunning, making it a contemplative and highly photographic location away from the main tourist throng.
