Cult Complex in Zanskar: Analysis, Interpretation

Vestnik NSU. Series: History and Philology, 2023
Purpose. The study investigates a Buddhist image on a standalone stone and an offering contained in a clay vessel. The cult complex is located near Zangla, not far from the Changut Choeling female monastery, in the north of Zanskar (Ladakh, India).Results. The image depicts the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, the patron deity of Tibet.

Thermal model for the Zanskar Himalaya

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, 1989
ABSTRACT Crustal thickening along the northern margin of the Indian plate, following the 50 Ma collision along the Indus Suture Zone in Ladakh, caused widespread high‐temperature, medium‐pressure Barrovian facies series metamorphism and anatexis. In the Zanskar Himalaya metamorphic isograds are inverted and structurally telescoped along the Main ...

Pétroglyphes archaïques du Ladakh et du Zanskar

Arts asiatiques, 1990
The authors have collected a number of rock engravings in Ladakh and Zanskar. A selection is published here, dating from Bronze and Iron Age. Beside the expected parallels engraved in Upper Indus Valley (Karakorum Highway) and Western Tibet there is also evidence for relations with Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Altai, Mongolia).

Integrated Ichnological and Sedimentological Studies of the Parahio Formation (Cambrian) of the Zanskar Region (Zanskar-Spiti Basin), Northwest Himalaya

Journal of the Geological Society of India, 2009
Abstract Lower-Middle Cambrian (Lungwangmiaoan–Hsuchuangian stage) Parahio Formation (Kunzam La Formation) exposed at Purni Village, Niri-Tsarap Chu Valley of Zanskar region of Tethyan Himalaya has yielded a high diversity and abundant ichnofossils with myriapod trackways.

The Eastern prolongation of the Zanskar Shear Zone (Western Himalaya)

Eclogae Geologicae Helvetiae, 2004
This paper aims to describe the possible SE extension of the Zanskar Shear Zone and its relation with other extensional and compressional structures. New structural and metamorphic data were collected in the Baralacha La, Yunam, Lingti region and a new geologic map of the studied area is proposed.

Timing of prograde metamorphism in the Zanskar Himalaya

Geology, 1999
The timing of the prograde metamorphism of continental crust buried during the collision of India and Eurasia is of importance to our understanding of the mechanics of mountain building and crustal metamorphism. Our knowledge of the Himalaya indicates that continental collision (at 55–50 Ma) culminated in crustal melting and leucogranitic magmatism at ...

Collision tectonics of the Ladakh-Zanskar Himalaya

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1988
The collision of the Indian Plate with the Karakoram-Lhasa Blocks and the closing of Neo-Tethys along the Indus Suture Zone (ISZ) is well constrained by sedimentologic, structural and palaeomagnetic data at ca. 50 Ma. Pre-collision high P— low T blueschist facies metamorphism in the ISZ is related to subduction of Tethyan oceanic crust northwards ...

Shilakong Ophiolite Nappe of Zanskar Mountains, Ladakh Himalaya

Journal Geological Society of India, 1981
Abstract The Shilakong ophiolite nappe occurs along the crest of the Zanskar Mountains in Ladakh, tectonically resting over the Mesozoic-Cenozoic sediments of the Spiti-Zanskar basin. It comprises two sub-nappe units. The lower Photang sub-nappe is made of pillow lava, basalt, volcanogenic sediments, purple chert and carbonate rocks with

Continents in Collision: Kashmir, Ladakh, Zanskar

2013
To understand how the Himalaya were formed it seemed logical to start at the actual zone of plate collision, the Indus suture zone. Most of this collision zone runs across southern Tibet, which in the 1970s was almost impossible to travel through. Following Mao Tse-tung’s Red Army’s invasion and occupation of Tibet in October 1950, that region had ...
