Gelensiniak,[a] or Geling Sinyik,[3] is a village in the Limeking Circle of the Upper Subansiri district in Arunachal Pradesh, India, close to the region's border with Tibet.

[14] The last Tsari pilgrimage was conducted in 1956, after which the Sino-Indian border conflict put a stop to the relations between the two regions.

[15] After the 1959 Tibetan uprising, Chinese troops arrived in Tibet in large numbers and started militarising the border.

[16] On 16 November, two thousand Chinese troops were found in the Gelensiniak area equipped with heavy weaponry.

[18] After the war, the Chinese withdrew to their previous positions, except that they retained possession of the Longju area in the Tsari Chu valley.
