When you walk on Zangsti Road, after crossing Moravian Church towards Karzu Pond you come across an statue of Stork or a Black Necked Crane particular to Leh, Ladakh region.
This is called the Stork Circle.
There is a round about to take U turn and a Road to go towards the old time city centre called Israeli Market.
Since the name is little hard to remember or speak migrants worker call it चिड़िया चौक or some call it मुर्गा चौक।
