Stok Palace in Leh is the residence of Royal family.
Part of it is converted into a museum.
It has a small shop and a restaurant.
Could not take pictures of the exhibits in the museum,
as the Faithful Tall Royal Guard with misterious looks,
didn't like my idea of photography.
I was emphatically stopped by him.
Painted ceiling of the entrance.
Here, Buddha adorns the ceiling of the entrance.
View from the Stok Palace.
Ruins of Mud houses amidst the scattered greenery.
A fully deckedup fruitseller in the Leh Market.
The decoration with flowers , coins reminds me of pictures of Aryan woman printed in the newspaper, years ago.
I asked her, where she has come from.
I heard her saying Dhahanu
(I was amazed to see that she understood my language.
Aryan strings between us ?? may be.)
Dhahanu is a land of Aryans.
I heard that civilians are not allowed in this area,
people from armed forces can have access to it.
It was banned years ago because, the German female tourists were found sneaking in this area and returning with a sperm of an Aryan in their wombs, with a dream of delivering a PURE ARYAN.
I heard this story from a friend, how far it is true, I have no idea.
Even otherwise, one needs permit to visit certain places in Leh including Dhahanu.
Aryans are known for their beauty but that beauty diminished with a passage of time and also by marrying with in their own clan.
Could not visit Dhahanu, hopefully next time
