Paper Number: 604 Widespread and Multiple Cryoturbation Episodes during Marine Isotopic Stage- 3 (MIS-3) Terminus: Evidence from the Upper Part of Palaeolake Sediments, along Indus River, in Leh and Nyoma Area, Ladakh, India Dutta, S.1, Kumar, P.1, Mujtaba, S.A.I1, Saini, H.S.1, Chunchekar, R.V.1 1, Geologist, Geological Survey of India, NH-5P, NIT, Faridabad, Haryana, India, [email protected] __________________________________________________________________________ Late Quaternary fluvio-lacustrine sequences in and around Leh and Nyoma areas, Indus river valley, Laddakh are important, climate-controlled terrestrial sedimentary records of interglacial–glacial cycles (ca.79 to >35 ka). These sediments exhibit some uncommon, well-preserved and well-distinguishable relict features of the cryoturbation which are preserved in the upper part of fluvio-lacustrine terrace sections along Indus River at several places. These features occur at two to five stratigraphic levels in the upper 2 to 6m of the laminated clay and sandy layers. The cryoturbated layers are conspicuously bounded by undisturbed strata and gives false impression of siesmites. The features occur as (i) Injection diapirs with involutions, (ii) Solifluction, (iii) Mud boils, (iv) Pseudostratified involution, and (v) Injection (Fig. 1). One or more of such layers are recorded in almost all studied sections preserved around Shey, Spituk, Chuglamshar, Palam and Nyoma localities in Indus valley. Their number and morphological features vary, depending on the granulometry, moisture content and frost susceptibility gradient. The morphological, sedimentological characters and widespread non-random occurrence of cryoturbation suggests existence of atleast five short term multiple cold and warm climate phases (freeze-thaw cycles) and/or rapid environmental changes in the region during terminus of last interglacial (MIS-3) (46 ka to <35 ka). Figure 1: Synthesis of Palaeolake aggradation and during terminus part of MIS-3 (interglacial) and disposition of cryoturbation features in Fluvio-lacustrine sediments at different localities in Leh and Nyoma, Indus Valley, Ladakh, India .

The Spituk Monastery of Ladakh the Spituk Monastery of Ladakh Is
The Spituk Monastery of Ladakh by traveldesk The Spituk Monastery of Ladakh is situated at a distance of approximately 8 km from the town of Leh. Towering over a conical, the 3-chapel monastery dates back to the 11th century, when it was founded century by Od-de, the elder brother of Lha Lama Changchub Od. He was the one to introduce a monastic community here. When a translator, Rinchen Zangpo, came to this place, he said that an exemplary religious community would develop there. This statement led to the naming of the monastery as Spituk, meaning Exemplary. During that time, Spituk Gompa belonged to the Kadampa School. With the progress of time, it came under Dharmaraja Takspa Bum- Lde Lama Lhawang Lotus. After restoring the monastery, he introduced the stainless order of Tsongkhapa there. Till date, the Spitok Monastery of Leh Ladakh is following this order only. Inside the monastery, the main statue is that of Lord Buddha. Then, there is also a sacred image of Amitayus. The image, about a finger high in length, was presented by Tsongkhapa to Takspa Bum-Lde. It also contains five Thankas and a collection of ancient masks, antique arms, along with a splendid image of Mahakaal. One of the major attractions of the Spituk Monastery is the Gustor Festival. An annual event, the festival takes place from the 27th to 29th day of the 11th Tibetan month. During this festival, the sacred dance is also held. The other monasteries of Stok, Sankar and Saboo in Ladakh, are branches of the Spituk Monastery only.

2000 Ladakh and Zanskar-The Land of Passes
1 LADAKH AND ZANSKAR -THE LAND OF PASSES The great mountains are quick to kill or maim when mistakes are made. Surely, a safe descent is as much a part of the climb as “getting to the top”. Dead men are successful only when they have given their lives for others. Kenneth Mason, Abode of Snow (p. 289) The remote and isolated region of Ladakh lies in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, marking the western limit of the spread of Tibetan culture. Before it became a part of India in the 1834, when the rulers of Jammu brought it under their control, Ladakh was an independent kingdom closely linked with Tibet, its strong Buddhist culture and its various gompas (monasteries) such as Lamayuru, Alchi and Thiksey a living testimony to this fact. One of the most prominent monuments is the towering palace in Leh, built by the Ladakhi ruler, Singe Namgyal (c. 1570 to 1642). Ladakh’s inhospitable terrain has seen enough traders, missionaries and invading armies to justify the Ladakhi saying: “The land is so barren and the passes are so high that only the best of friends or worst of enemies would want to visit us.” The elevation of Ladakh gives it an extreme climate; burning heat by day and freezing cold at night. Due to the rarefied atmosphere, the sun’s rays heat the ground quickly, the dry air allowing for quick cooling, leading to sub-zero temperatures at night. Lying in the rain- shadow of the Great Himalaya, this arid, bare region receives scanty rainfall, and its primary source of water is the winter snowfall.

THE EARLY BUDDHIST HERITAGE of LADAKH RECONSIDERED CHRISTIAN LUCZANITS Much Ofwhat Is Generally Considered to Represent the Earl
THE EARLY BUDDHIST HERITAGE OF LADAKH RECONSIDERED CHRISTIAN LUCZANITS Much ofwhat is generally considered to represent the earliest heritage of Ladakh cannot be securely dated. It even cannot be said with certainty when Buddhism reached Ladakh. Similarly, much ofwhat is recorded in inscriptions and texts concerning the period preceding the establishment of the Ladakhi kingdom in the late 151h century is either fragmentary or legendary. Thus, only a comparative study of these records together 'with the architectural and artistic heritage can provide more secure glimpses into the early history of Buddhism in Ladakh. This study outlines the most crucial historical issues and questions from the point of view of an art historian and archaeologist, drawing on a selection of exemplary monuments and o~jects, the historical value of which has in many instances yet to be exploited. vVithout aiming to be so comprehensive, the article updates the ground breaking work of A.H. Francke (particularly 1914, 1926) and Snellgrove & Skorupski (1977, 1980) regarding the early Buddhist cultural heritage of the central region of Ladakh on the basis that the Alchi group of monuments l has to be attributed to the late 12 and early 13 th centuries AD rather than the 11 th or 12 th centuries as previously assumed (Goepper 1990). It also collects support for the new attribution published by different authors since Goepper's primary article. The nmv fairly secure attribution of the Alchi group of monuments shifts the dates by only one century} but has wide repercussions on I This term refers to the early monuments of Alchi, rvIangyu and Sumda, which are located in a narrow geographic area, have a common social, cultural and artistic background, and may be attIibuted to within a relatively narrow timeframe.

0 1 DISTRICT PROFILE Although, Leh district is one of the largest districts of the country in terms of area, it has the lowest population density across the entire country. The district borders Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Chinese occupied Ladakh in the North and Northwest respectively, Tibet in the east and Lahoul-Spiti area of Himachal Pradesh in the South. The district of Leh forms the Northern tip of the Indian Sub Continent. According to the Geographical experts, the district has several other features, which make it unique when compared with other parts of the Indian sub-continent. The district is the coldest and most elevated inhabited region in the country with altitude ranging from 2300 meters to 5000 meters. As a result of its high altitude locations, annual rainfall is extremely low. This low status of precipitation has resulted in scanty vegetation, low organic content in the soil and loose structure in the cold desert. But large-scale plantation has been going in the district since 1955 and this state of affairs is likely to change. The ancient inhabitants of Ladakh were Dards, an Indo- Aryan race. Immigrants of Tibet, Skardo and nearby parts like Purang, Guge settled in Ladakh, whose racial characters and cultures were in consonance with early settlers. Buddhism traveled from central India to Tibet via Ladakh leaving its imprint in Ladakh. Islamic missionaries also made a peaceful penetration of Islam in the early 16 th century. German Moravian Missionaries having cognizance of East India Company also made inroads towards conversion but with little success. In the 10 th century AD, Skit Lde Nemagon, the ruler of Tibet, invaded Ladakh where there was no central authority.

I refer readers to the full conference report by Monisha Ahmed and John Bray, but wish to congratulate all in the IALS and on the ground in Ladakh as well as Jammu & Kashmir who helped make the conference such a success. The conference sparked lively debate in the IALS about topics including but not limited to the constitution, conference venues, future IALS commitments, and publications. As editor of Ladakh Studies and keenly interested in the future of IALS publications, I will mention some key concerns that arose during the conference and that will no doubt be subject of discussion at Aberdeen. The IALS Executive and Advisory Committee held a meeting before the conference began to discuss among other issues, sales of current IALS publications and Ladakh Studies in Ladakh, India, and the wider world.
