Why was Ladakh chosen for Setting up the Dark Reserve? Cold Desert with Sparse Population: The Indian Astronomical Observatory, the high-altitude station of IIA, is situated to the north of the Western Himalayas, at an altitude of 4,500 metres above mean sea level. Located atop Mt. Saraswati in the Nilamkhul Plain in the Hanle Valley of Changthang, it is a dry, cold desert with a sparse human population and has the Hanle monastery as its nearest neighbour. Clear Skies: The cloudless skies and low atmospheric water vapour make it one of the best sites in the world for optical, infrared, sub-millimetre, and millimetre wavelengths. Other Telescopes situated in Hanle Observatory: The Himalayan Chandra Telescope (HCT), High Energy Gamma Ray telescope (HAGAR), the Major Atmospheric Cherenkov Experiment Telescope (MACE) and GROWTH-India are prominent telescopes located at the Hanle observatory.

Words are powerful tools that can create or destroy, heal or harm, inspire or discourage. They can affect not only our emotions, but also our physical and mental well-being. Words can also influence the world around us, as some people believe they can do with trees.

According to a popular legend, in the Solomon Islands of the Pacific, the islanders practice a special form of curse magic. If they need to cut down a tree that is too big or too hard to chop down, they do not use axes or saws. Instead, they gather around the tree and curse it with negative and hateful words. They yell at the tree, insult it, and wish it to die. They do this for thirty days, and then the tree withers and falls to the ground by itself. The lesson from the Solomon Islands is that words are not just sounds or symbols. They are living energies that can affect the world. Let us use them wisely and well, and make them a source of blessing and not a curse. 🍃
