The annual five-day Great Prayer Festival, "Ladakh Monlam Chenmo," a collective prayer camp by Buddhist monks and nuns for world peace and happiness began on 11 May 2023 in Leh, Ladakh.
The annual congregational prayer is resuming this year after being closed for three years due to Covid.
Monlam Chenmo is a major annual prayer of the Sangh community of Ladakh who gather on one platform. This program is being organized by All Ladakh Gonpa Association.
On the side-lines of the event, Member of Parliament for Ladakh Constituency Jamyang Tsering Namgyal will lead a special camp for Sangha Community, which is named “Seva for Sangha’, from May 11 to 16 at Leh in collaboration with district administration Leh.
The camp is being organised for the first time for Sanga Community to avail benefits of different government schemes.
Different government departments, including banks, will come forward and offer the benefits of about 20 schemes of the government to the monks and nuns.
The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) has also joined hands with the organisers to set up medical camps during the five-day-long camp ‘Seva for Sangha’.
