Yes, that is because they are both peace pagodas, which started being built in the 1940's by a Japanese monk and now can be found all over the world with many in India. Besides Ladakh and Delhi, their are peace pagodas in Bhubaneshwar, Darjeeling, Rajgir and Vaishali.

Tathāgata Tsal | Buddha Park of Ravangla, Rabong, Sikkim

The park was just open by the Dalai Lama of March 25th. It features a 128 foot statue of Lord Buddha.

A great video of the park


Last year while still under construction:

Thanks Murlee!

And yes, a lot of the new Buddhist statues/stupas/temples have been funded by Asian money, especially Japanese. Though a few have been funded by the government.

btw, most of the monasteries in the Himalayan states have been there for centuries.
