    My home in Likir -- built by hand by my Aba-le (host father) and his neighbors using techniques known to every Ladakhi. Whoever has called Ladakh the third world has no idea what they are talking about!: by ivan_miral, Views[546]

         		 Traditional butter lamps (now filled with corn oil -- modernity!) illuminate murals depicting the one who found luminosity.: by ivan_miral, Views[573]
