Blue Sky, Ochre Peep outs and Stone Walls at Spituk in Ladakh
Spituk is set atop a hill that overlooks the majestic Indus river on one side and the Leh airport on the other. It was initially constructed in the 11th century AD but has been changing hands amongst the various Buddhist orders and is currently owned and operated by the Gelukpa order.
It is easy to access and not too steep a climb.
From the immediate outside, the stone walls washed a dirty shade of white climb up to reach for the dark azure sky while oblong window fascias cut up the structure in neat geometric patterns with a bit of ochre and red to punctuate the primacy of colors.
