as a joyous end to the conference programme.
On Saturday, the organizers arranged a guided tour of Shanti Stupa, the Mahabodhi Society’s
compound in Choglamsar, and the royal palace at Stok. In the afternoon, finally, the Institute of
Ladakh Studies had arranged a polo match in honour of the IALS. Henry Osmaston was guest of
honour, a status marked by his casting of the ball to begin play and a chat with the players during the
intermission, from which he was returned on horseback to his seat of honour.
As is customary, efforts are under way to publish most of the papers as a volume in the Recent
Research on Ladakh series. John Bray and Dr Nawang Tsering will edit the proceedings. A
publisher is being sought.
