RECOM ENDATION FOR NOMINATION

Sowa Rigpa is the popular traditional medical system which is widely practiced in the Himalayan Region since ages. lt is one of the oldest living medical systems which trace its origin to the time of Lord Buddha. lt is well researched, documented and passed on from generations to generations.

Sowa Rigpa is one among the officially recognized medical systems in the Ministry of Ayush (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy), Government of India. The State Government of Arunachal Pradesh supports promotion of Sowa Rigpa by establishing study centres in the State through the Department of Karmik & Adhyatmik Affairs (Chos-Rig).

Considering its extensive acceptability among the people as an valuable age old traditional medical System, I strongly recommend nomination of "Sowa Rigpa" for inscription on the UNESCO's representation list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
