Prayer Mill

Prayer Mill
Water powered prayer mills are a common sight in Bhutan, this one is in Bumthang valley near the end of the motorable road ( the prayer mill is inside the little building)

Schönen Dank, Erika! Diese Täler sind wirklich ein kleines Paradies- relativ wenig erdbebengefährdet, angenehme Höhenlage....

Its an education reading about your pictures Gudrun! I thought prayer wheels were all turned by hand - now I know there are wind and water powered wheels (mills).

Thank you, Graham! There are even solar powered prayer mills, small ones for the dashboard of your car- golden coloured and made in China;-)

Thanks, Jaap! Prayer mills are cylinders containing strips of paper with mantras (like "om mani padme hum") which are turned so that the prayers go in all directions.They come in all sizes and can be turned manually, by water etc.
