Thangka painting, devotional scroll art built on strict traditional proportion, remains taught and practiced within Ladakh's monasteries much as it has been for centuries, alongside wood carving and metalwork used in monastery ritual objects.
The changthangi goats raised at high altitude across Ladakh produce the raw wool later spun and woven into pashmina in Kashmir, tying the region directly into a textile tradition usually associated with the valley rather than the high plateau where its essential raw material actually originates.
