The Kali Mandir

The Kali Mandir is claimed by the local priest (I believe him) to be around 900 years old. There are Buddhist and possibly Hindu pictures on the wall. Quite entertaining.

Now, you have got to see Her!!! the verisome Kali Matha!!

She is really the Kali that anything evil will fear to the core. Her face is open for display only in January. The whole visage is terrifying and inspiring. They have bottles of rum that they offer Her as prasad.

The priests have an archery competition in the next two days.

When it snows, there is an ice skating rink being made, which will be used for ice hockey competitions as well.. which do happen in winter. The Ladakh Scouts are pretty good at it as well.
