Mountain stupa

Simla, India

On the outskirt of Simla, an hill-station in India, the march of the Himalayas can be viewed. Hill stations function as summer residences for the well-to-do in the flatlands. They can view the sweltering Hindu lowlands or turn around and see the cool Tibetian highlands. This stupa marks the edge of Tibetian influence.

Shimla is capitol of the himalayan province Himanchal Pradesh. In colonial days Shimla used to be a favourite residence for British. It is now adored by people from plains as a summer escape.
