Just days after it was inundated by flood water, the centuries-old Gurudwara Pathar Sahib was full of Sikh and Buddhist devotees praying for those lost in the calamity. Local tradition says that the gurdwara was first constructed in 1517 and was for centuries a Buddhist shrine to ‘lLama Nanak.
Today it is a Sikh shrine and a major tourist destination being about 25 kms from Leh.
With remarkable speed, the local sangat, stranded Sikh truck drivers with the support of the army managed to clean up about four feet of sludge that had flowed down the hills following the rains on the nights August 5 and 6.
Very beautiful
