Heritage Conservation and Restoration

Ladakh is dotted with various heritage sites like ancient temples, wall paintings, wooden carvings, ancient paintings, manuscripts, metal images, textiles, paper drawings, block prints and so on. Monument conservation especially the Buddhist stupas and wall paintings are some of the core activities that HCHF started and has gained momentum over the years. So far, HCHF has restored 60+ stupas across various villages in Ladakh and trained local masons to restore heritage sites.

Contribution for Stupa Restoration in Ladakh

The land of Ladakh is dotted with Buddhist stupas built by our ancestors and blessed by many Lamas and Yogis, but many of them are in an advanced state of decay. In order to preserve our legacy and spread love and compassion for all sentient beings to live happy, peaceful, and harmonious lives, HCHF has been restoring the ancient stupas.
