Himachal
Pradesh
The
earliest known inhabitants
of the region were tribals
called Dasas. Later, Aryans
came and they assimilated
in the tribes. In the later
centuries, the hill chieftains
accepted suzerainty of the
Mauryan empire, the Kaushans,
the Guptas and Kanuaj ruler
Buddhist Pilgrimage Tours
The remote
valleys of Lahaul, Spiti and
Kinnaur have strong Buddhist
traditions. Splendid gompas,
Buddhist monasteries, built
along bare mountain-sides
seem to be a part of the rugged
terrain. These are the repositories
of a wealth of Buddhist art
and culture. The dim, cool
interiors of ancient monasteries
glow with the brilliance of
painted murals, stuccos and
elaborate thangkas framed
with rich borders of silk.
In Dharamsala, where the Dalai
Lama has settled in exile,
is a marvelous Tibetan township
where an entire cultural tradition
is being nurtured. It is a
centre that attracts scholars,
pilgrims and tourists.
REWALSAR:
Perhaps the most sacred spot
for Buddhists in Himachal
Pradesh, Rewalsar is 20 km

to legend, Guru Padmasambhava
departed for Tibet from this
beautiful spot, to spread
the 'dharma'. A pagoda-style
monastery stands along the
edge of the lake.
