Hemis Monastery, Ladakh, India

Meet Shri Tsering Wangdus. He is a Padmashri award winner, the fourth highest civilian award given by the Government of India. He teaches in an art school in Ladakh. We met him and his students at Hemis Monastery, the biggest monastery in Ladakh. Mr. Wangdus and his students were making art pieces on the walls of the Hemis monastery. This was the first time we had met a Padmashri awardee. To see the master practicing his art was a privileged moment.
