Mummy of Sangha Tenzin
The 1975 earthquake in a small town along the Indo-Tibet border in Himachal Pradesh uncovered an old tomb .When the tomb was excavated,it was discovered to be the mummified body of Buddhist monk Sangha Tenzin.An appalling aspect of this discovery is that the skin and hair on the mummy are still intact.Some believe it was because of the natural mummification process in which a monk starves himself to death and runs candles over his body to dry out the fat. However the mystery surrounding this still continues.
