Do's and Dont's in the Ladakh Monasteries
Monasteries of Ladakh invoke a spirit of devotion and oneness of every soul amongst all the
people who come to visit it. However, monasteries are also places which expect
strict discipline from the outsiders and so, if you are travelling to Ladakh to
visit its monasteries, here are some pointers to help you abide by their rules
-
1. Please take off your shoes if you would be
entering the prayer area of a monastery.
2. It is a good idea to wear clothes that cover
your limbs well.
3. While
you can always approach a monk humbly to answer many of the curious questions
that pop up in your head, but please make sure you do not disturb Monks at
prayer.
4. Most
importantly, if you would like to
photograph a monk, seek their permission respectfully.
5. No
matter how much the religious artifacts tempt you, touching them is not a good
idea.
6.Drinking,
smoking, drugging, spitting – none of this is allowed inside the monastery
premises.
7. Avoid
talking loudly when inside a monastery.
8. In
many Gompas, people are expected to walk in clockwise direction around the
premises.
9. In
some monasteries, women may not be allowed inside the inner prayer rooms.
