The Buddhist monastery of Tabo is located in the barren Himalayan mountain desert valley of Spiti, formerly part of Western Tibet, now, Northern India. Founded in the year 996, it is the oldest continuously operating temple site in Tibetan culture, remaining largely unaltered from its original state over one thousand years ago.
Photographer, explorer, and author Peter van Ham has dedicated over 30 years to studying this remarkable ancient site, meticulously documenting its breathtaking artworks, sculptures, and buildings. Building on the success of its initial release in 2015, he has now unveiled a revised edition of his groundbreaking photography book, Tabo: Gods of Light, and it is nothing short of spectacular!
