View of the buildings of Lamayuru Monastery and the adjacent village, some of which are perched on a precipice. Two chortens, Tibetan stupas with a bulbous dome set on a square base, can be seen on the hill. An encampment is visible on the center left area of the image, while a man stands in the center.
