Saspochey is a village in the Leh district of Ladakh, India.[2] It is located in the Likir tehsil. One of the early period temples with paintings that may be dated to late 12th century is located here.[3] The paintings are in a very bad state of preservation, with only two walls and a small portion of the remaining two walls having surviving paintings.
Wooden sculptures (possibly dating before 12th century CE) are also stored inside this temple.[4]
