Description: Written on the board: "Sacred Tree" known as "Datun (Miswak) Sahib" is everlasting memory of Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji (Rimpoche Lama) the great prophet who sanctified this place during his sacred visit during the year 1517 while on his second missionary tour (2nd udassi 1515-1518). He put this datun (miswak) here which became a huge tree in Ladakh area where there was no tree at that time. This sacred tree is well known among our Muslim and Buddhist brethren for its sacredness. The aim of Guru Ji was to establish greenery in the highest desert of the world as well as in the hearts of human beings.
