| | The enshrined goddess, Kali, venerated as Mrikula Devi, is worshipped as Dorje-phag-mo by the Buddhists. | | | Spiti is totally Buddhist and is the location of some of Himalayan Buddhism's most important monasteries. | | | Nowhere is this better symbolised than at the temple of Trilokinath near Tandi in western Lahaul, where the idol worshipped as Lord Shiva by the Hindu populace, is venerated as the Buddha Avilokateshwara by the local Buddhists, as well as pilgrims from Spiti and Ladakh. |

| | Spiti: An Introduction - White Crane Films |
| | Spiti is home to around 10,000 inhabitants who share with their Tibetan neighbours a common ethnicity, language and culture. | | | He had returned to Spiti with the aim of starting a modern school that would teach the Tibetan language and Buddhism along with more contemporary subjects. | | | By the time I visited in 1990, a new monastery had been built adjacent to the temple and, under the guidance of the geshe, a community of 35 monks, all from Spiti, were once again engaged in the traditional study and practice of Buddhism. |

| | A century ago, Rudyard Kipling in Kim called Spiti "a world within a world" and a "place where the gods live" - a description that holds good even today. | | | I have not been commissioned by Himachal Tourism to say this but would say that our lives would be incomplete if we do not see Himachal Pradesh in totality. | | | Not only did I visit these districts but also went to Dalhousie, Mcleodganj and Manali. |
