Young Buddhist Monks in Ladakh, Northern India .
It is a common practice for each family to send one child in each generation to the monastery, so they may go at a very young age, like these children, the youngest at Phyang. However, unlike in some other traditions, they generally maintain contact with their families, especially if they live in the village near the gompa. These boys have just had their heads shaved, by someone who is evidently not very proficient at the art.
