Wall hanging revealed
Giant wall hanging revealed.
A beautiful wall hanging depicting the triumph of good over evil decorates the wall of Spituk Gompa during the Gustor festival, Leh, Ladakh. When we first got to the festival the hanging was covered with a saffron cloth still visible at the top of the hanging and the hanging was revealed at the beginning of the activities. The top figure likely represents Sonam Gyatso the 3rd Dalai Lama from the time of the founding of the Spituk Gompa. He is revered in many of the Gelug'pa (Yellow Hat) monasteries such as Spituk Gompa.
