Alchi and Ladakhi artistic patronage
Alchi Choskhor
Temples, paintings, architectural alterations, and inscriptions illuminate patrons and artisans in a western Himalayan valley. Artistic connections do not establish the ethnicity of every maker or viewer.
Paisajes de tierras altas, comunidades e instituciones cambiantes
Mesetas, valles y paisajes regionales conectados
The Indus valley connected Ladakh with Kashmir and western Tibetan worlds. Artistic circulation could involve patrons, models, or mobile craftspeople.
Organización política y escala comunitaria
Local patrons and religious lineages operated within changing regional powers. Alchi was not a capital of a unified Himalaya.
Transformación posterior, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna
Living custodianship and scholarly interpretations need respectful distinction. Present religious affiliations must not be projected back onto every founding patron.
This rests on inscriptions and identifiable teacher lineages, not a timeless stylistic label.
The interval between the Dukhang and Sumtsek is not conclusively established.
The research publication includes separate technical and textual contributions.
