Constructed at a cost of Rs 550.48 crore on 72 acres, this stupa complex is being developed near the sacred Pushkarini (pond) and mud 'stupa'. The main attraction of this monument will be a relic casket of Lord Buddha, discovered during excavations from 1958-62, which will be placed on the first floor of the museum. A statue of Lord Buddha crafted by artists from Odisha will be a distinctive feature. "The Memorial Stupa is entirely made of stone, with 42,373 sandstone pieces from Bansi Paharpur in Rajasthan interlinked using tongue and groove technique. It is built with modern earthquake-resistant technologies to ensure its safety for thousands of years. Surrounding the stupa are lily ponds, attractive sculptures and beautiful landscaping," the official said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The complex also includes a meditation and visitor centre, library, museum block, amphitheatre, cafeteria, solar power plant (500 kilowatts), parking and other facilities.

It enables faster deployment of resources to India's northern borders, especially in remote and mountainous areas where ground transport is difficult. The development of Nyoma ALG comes at a time when India is rapidly expanding its border infrastructure. After the standoff with China began over four years ago, India has accelerated work on roads, tunnels, and bridges in Ladakh and nearby regions to improve response and logistics importance has grown after recent military disengagements between India and China at Demchok and Depsang Plains. Though patrolling has resumed, the airfield's closeness to these areas makes it valuable for rapid deployment during any ALGs like Nyoma are not just for defence—they also support civilian flights and help improve transport and services for remote communities.- Ends IN THIS STORY#Ladakh
