Gompas of Ladakh
Hemis
Hemis Gompa is a unique example, its sheltered position has preserved it from the countless incursions and pillages that in repeated moments have destroyed many of the surrounding monasteries. This is one of the oldest monastery, it is believed to have been established in 1630 on a site previously of a cave hermitage dating from the xii century. Here there is the largest thangka in existence, over 18 m, the unfurling of this massive sacred thangka occurs only every 12 years.

Hemis monastery


Architecturally the complex is an enormous cube resting on the rocky slope like a three dimensional 'mandala', in its structure it manifests the geomantic principles which underlie religious constructions of this type. Through a stairway on the northern wall we enter in the large courtyard; to the right the great façade of the monastery while the other three sides of the courtyard are closed by a two orders portico. The lower portico is decorated with a series of painted panels with episodes of the life of the teachers kagyu-pa (xvii century).

Along the main façade two stairways lead to the porches of the dukang Chenmo (large assembly hall) and the dukang Pagpa (median room of cult) this last with a skylight that lets suggestive light to the inside, the temple contains a silver chorten with precious stones and a gigantic statue in gilded copper Sakyamuni, with smaller chortens and statues on the sides. A staircase leads to the intermediary floor with a temple that contains a big statue of Guru Rimpoche Padma Sambhava, and to the upper terraces.
