The Conservation of Monasteries in the Western Himalayas
This paper considers monastic architectural practices in the western Himalayan region of north India and its close association with Tibetan architecture. It looks into some of the issues that have led to the current deterioration of some of the important Buddhist structures, and considers three prominent monasteries at Spiti in Himachal Pradesh for recording. It further suggests a need for thorough research, documentation and extensive exploration into the religious and architectural practices, and what measures should be adopted to safeguard the future of these monasteries.
