The Gue Mummy Stupa in Kaza, Himachal Pradesh, is an intriguing destination that attracts many curious visitors and researchers. It houses the well-preserved mummy of Sangha Tenzin, a Buddhist monk who lived about 500 years ago. This mummy was discovered in 1975 when an earthquake revealed an ancient tomb, and it was carefully excavated in 2004. Unlike the Egyptian mummification techniques, Sangha Tenzin’s preservation resulted from a natural process called Sokushinbutsu, used by Buddhist monks in Japan. This method involved a strict diet that caused the body to lose fat and fluids while keeping its skeletal structure. Visitors often come for Gue Mummy Stupa (Sangha Tenzin Monk Mummy) sightseeing in Kaza, where they can see the monk in a meditative pose, surrounded by the breathtaking views of Lahaul & Spiti.
