Buddhist / Vajrayana / Kashmiri - Alchi, Leh, Ladakh (34.2333°N, 77.1833°E) Alchi Monastery (11th–12th c., Ladakh) preserves the oldest surviving Tibetan Buddhist murals in the world — stylistically linked to the Kashmiri-Buddhist tradition that was destroyed by Islamic invasions. The tiny 3-storey Sumtsek (3-storey) shrine houses 4-m Maitreya, Avalokiteśvara, and Mañjuśrī statues. UNESCO protection pending.
