==Buddhism in Tegar==
Tegar is a Buddhist village on the fringes of the [[Tibet]]an Cultural Area.<ref name="The Tibet Journal">{{cite book|title=The Tibet Journal|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HEwUAQAAIAAJ|accessdate=31 March 2013|year=2000|publisher=Library of Tibetan Works & Archives}}</ref><ref name="Heritage">{{cite book|title=Heritage Holidays: North & Central India|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lyJuAAAAMAAJ|accessdate=30 March 2013|year=2004|publisher=Outlook Publishing (India)|page=494}}</ref>

There are two sects of [[Buddhists]] living in the village. Each sect has a specific affiliation to the nearby monasteries of the sect. One set of villagers belong to the [[Gelug|Gelukpa Order]] or Yellow Hat Sect of Buddhists, and they are under the religious patronage of the [[Samtsaling Monastery]], which is 3 km away from the village. The second set of people, from a hamlet of the village, belong to the [[Diskit Monastery|Diskit Gompa]], the oldest and the largest monastery. Both monasteries own land in the village, which are given on tenement to the villagers for raising agricultural crops. Every month, the ''Lapsang'' ritual is observed by the villagers, which is presided by the [[monk]]s deputed by the particular Order of the monastery. The villagers also attend the monastery of their affiliation on all festival events. In addition to the monasteries, there are two ''Manekhangs'' or temples, one of each sect, in the village. A monk is appointed as a priest for each of these temples and they are drawn from the monasteries of the same Order.<ref name="OsmastonTsering1997">{{cite book|author1=Henry Osmaston|author2=Nawang Tsering|title=Recent Research on Ladakh 6: Proceedings of the Sixth International Colloquium on Ladakh, Leh 1993|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4jX552GiSmYC&pg=PA253|accessdate=29 March 2013|date=1 January 1997|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass|isbn=978-81-208-1432-5|pages=253–}}</ref>

==Geography==
The hills on which the village is situated forms the southern slopes of the [[Karakoram|Karakoram Range]]. The geological formation of the hill has been recorded as [[Granite|granite formation]]s, and named after the hill peak of Tegar, as Tegar Granites. The granites consists of two types of [[mica]]s – [[muscovite]] and [[biotite]]. This formation is unlike the granite and volcanic formation of the [[Ladakh]] granite and [[Shylock Volcanic]]. Its formation has been attributed to the thermal [[metamorphosis]] process due to which the rocks attained the andalusitic horn-felsic form.<ref name="Negi2002">{{cite book|author=S.S.
