Tibetan World of the Indian Himalayas: An Ethnography of the Garden of Dakini In the Lahul region of Himachal Pradesh, Hindu and Tibetan cultures coexist. This region is also known as 'Garsha Kandoling' to Tibetans, which means 'Garsha, a garden of Dakini'. The people of Lahul live 3,4 meters above sea level in a challenging mountainous environment. Most of the original inhabitants are Mongoloid, and believe in Tibetan Buddhism. Their traditional ways of life are also Tibetan-like, and suitably adapted for the rigours of life at high altitude.
