~0.6 mtr stone piece has a carving of स्वस्तिक using a sharp stone tool. Such an art is first time discovered in this region and probably in #India too.

From a nearby sanctuary, स्वस्तिक variant carved on a stone plate (See the image) is also found (~50 BCE)
It is not a petroglyph but an important connecting link of Swastika with #Ladakh region from the same era as of the petroglyph depicted in the above tweet
