The Spiti Valley is a high mountain desert located in the Indian Himalayas. Spiti means the middle land. It lies in the north-eastern part of the State of Himachal Pradesh. The valley is surrounded by the districts of Kinnaur in the south, Kullu in the west, and Ladakh in the north. In the east, Spiti shares a sensitive geopolitical border with the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) in the People’s Republic of China. The Spiti Valley has a long and sparsely documented history. There is evidence that the region was incorporated into the expanding Tibetan Empire in the seventh and eighth centuries, leading to a gradual Tibetanization of its native inhabitants. Today, the people of Spiti speak a tonal Tibetan dialect related to the Western Tibetan group. It has yet preserved a few lexemes, meaning that the Spiti Valley had once been within the influence of Shangshung culture. From the first millennium onwards, Spiti belonged to larger political commodities and its socio-political and religious conditions have often been conflated with those of powerful states exerting control over the area (e.g. the kingdoms of Guge and Ladakh). In his introduction to the history of Western Tibet, historian Luciano Petech expressed reservations about the historical study of border Himalayan polities, recalling that “the smaller the unit, the less known is its history”. Nowhere is that more evident than in Spiti, where an absence of textual information and local evidence often militates against the identification of legible periodic divisions; a difficulty already experienced in making sense of the Spitian past.
