6 centuries ago, #NubraValley witnessed the foundation of #DiskitMonastery that housed several Tibetan Buddhist monks who continued their search for truth, following the footsteps of #LordBuddha. To this day the monastery continues to enchant travellers and educate many Tibetan kids who are learning to merge ancient knowledge with present day’s science.

#MahaparinirvanaTemple in #Kushinagar, #UttarPradesh is home to the #LordBuddha statue. It is carved out of monolith red-sandstone of the 5th century A.D. Popular among the people all over the world, it is now accessible through Kushinagar International Airport.
