71-foot Buddha Shakyamuni Statue at Stok Village near Leh, Ladakh

71-foot (22-metre) golden Buddha Shakyamuni statue at Stok Village, located approximately 17 km southeast of Leh in Ladakh, India. Situated at the foothills of Stok Kangri, the monument was constructed between 2012 and 2015, and the statue and adjoining temple were consecrated by the 14th Dalai Lama. The seated Buddha, holding an alms bowl, overlooks the Indus Valley from an ornate multi-tiered pedestal, with a traditional white stupa positioned on the hillside behind it. The surrounding landscape includes Ladakh's cold desert terrain, terraced agricultural fields, scattered village houses, winding mountain roads, and snow-capped Himalayan peaks. Views of Leh town, highlighting its traditional flat-roofed architecture, sparse vegetation, and the rugged high-altitude landscape of the Trans-Himalayan region.As seen aerially, from the air, in this aerial view. #ladakh #leh #stok #buddha #shakyamuni #dalailama #buddhism #himalayas #india #travel 71-foot Buddha Shakyamuni Statue, Stok Village Ladakh, Leh Ladakh, Stok Kangri, Dalai Lama Ladakh, Buddha statue India, Ladakh Buddhist heritage, Indus Valley Ladakh, Himalayan landscape, Leh town panorama This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest HD and 4K collection from South Asia.
