Reaching Shey Palace
THe ride from Leh was accomplished in a public transport and in a span of half an hour i was in Shey Palace. Before completing the ride on the way there are declarations on the need to optimally use water in and around Leh-Ladakh.
As one begins to ascend stairs to Shey Palace, there is a signboard that conveys the historical import of the structure.
"Shey palace including shrine together with adjacent land (Shey Palace) (Lat 34* 10'N, Long 77*35'E) 15 kms to the south upstream from Leh. The royal palace and shrine built in the 16th century enshrines the DU- KHANG with the copper gilded statue of Lord Buddha rising to a height of three storeyed. King Dendan Namgyal built the palace in and around AD 1650. The palace has the largest Namgyal Cherten (Victory Stupa) in Ladakh which is made of pure gold.
After ascending the stairs one should remove the shoes before stepping inside to view the Lord Buddha statue. Inside the Lord Buddha statue is strong enough to cast a magic spell. On the left side is Chakpa Maylen (religious protector) and on right is Paldan Lhamo, fierce form of Savasvati female Bodhisatava of wisdom.Perhaps the donation box does not engineer that much collection than the exercise of offering cash, fruits and incense sticks before the Lord in open that endures. By and large the Shey Palace and the Lord Buddha inside is a master piece which should be viewed if one is in the vicinity of Leh. One can further visit upstairs and throw the gauge on the landscape.
After stepping out opposite to the palace is shil khar restaurant from where the rice and mixed vegetable option is sumptuous enough to secure a strong recall.
Shey Palace was great and so were the surroundings.
