HEMIS FESTIVAL; 14 JULY 2016

UNVEILING OF GURU PADMASAMBHAVA THANGKA (ONCE EVERY 12 YEARS)

Hemis Monastery, which is 40 km from Leh is the most renowned and biggest monastery of Ladakh. Its popularity stems from the major annual festival held here every summer, in honour of Guru Padmasambhava's birth anniversary. Guru Padmasambhava is the 8th century Indian guru revered for spreading Buddhism throughout the Himalayas. Hemis has the largest silk embroidered brocade in Ladakh, which is unfurled, once in 12 years, in the year of the Monkey. Built in 1630 during the reign of King Sengge Namgyal, by Taktsang Repa, a student of the 5th Gyalwang Drukpa and the 1st Drukpa Yongdzin Rinpoche, Hemis flourished under the Namgyal dynasty, whose kings and people became the patrons of the Drukpa Order.
