Asal Nama Darjeeling
Petikan Ai:
The name Darjeeling comes from Tibetan word Dorje and Ling. Dorje meaning thunderbolt, referring to the scepter of the God Indra. Ling meaning place or land. So it translates to 'The Land of the Thunderbolt.
[Scepter is an ornamented staff carried by rulers on ceremonial occasions as a symbol of soreignty].
The scepter believed to originate from Dorje-ling, a monastery that once stood on Observatory Hill, later anglicized by the British, with some linking it to the founder, Lama Dorjé-rinzing, while the official government site points to the 'thunderbolt' meaning.
