The oldest civilization of the world,INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION and it is believed that the vedas originated from this place. It is the place where Buddhisism still exists in same undistorted form. Every year Sindhu darshan is organised during the last week of june with sole purpose of interaction of the people of Ladakh with the rest of the nation.
The students of Ekal school participated in the cultural programme organised on Sindhu Darshan. It was found that the children of Leh school excelled in reciting HIndi prayers.
