About Shey Palace

Shey Palace, situated approximately 15 kilometers southeast of Leh in Ladakh, India, is a significant historical and spiritual site. Established in 1655 by King Deldan Namgyal in memory of his father, Sengge Namgyal, the monastery was part of the Shey Palace complex, which served as the summer capital of Ladakh. The monastery is renowned for its impressive 12-meter-high gilded copper statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, one of the largest in the region. Shey Monastery also hosts two annual festivals: Shey Doo Lhoo, marking the sowing season, and Shey Rupla, celebrating the harvest, both featuring traditional rituals and dances.
