Doors of Ladakh, India

Doors of Ladakh, India are unique; a refreshing change from a world where the doors to our houses are pre-fabricated, with a handful of cookie-cutter patterns. Our doors are so perfect that it is difficult to tell one from another; In Ladakh, the doors are mostly hand-crafted, and each one is different from another.
Here in the modern world, doors are ways to keep the world out.
In Ladakh, doors can make a home.
