Mani Wall

Mani Wall
Buddhists place mani stones inscribed with mantras (Om mani padme hum) into walls which are meant to be circumambulated in a clockwise direction.
In Bhutan mani walls are usually short, this one in Bumthang's Choekor valley is an exception.

HWW!

This is so fascinating Gudrun and two lovely shots here. What a beautiful backdrop to this interesting wall and I love the close up. I can imagine them walking around intoning these mantras one after another. I love a photo with a story and this really delivers that as well as being beautiful.

Thanks a lot, Carol! Buddhism is very much part of everyday life there but they are also quite pragmatic- like having solar powered prayer mills on the dashboard of their cars for automated praying;-)

Every day on IP is a school day.............and this is the "something new" I've learned today. Such a lovely images and a well researched narrative. I like everything about your main image from the gorgeous sky to the wonderful detail in the wall and the prayer flags and stones on top of the wall.

The close up view of the one of the stones and the colourful script is excellent..!!

First rate photography Gudrun ⭐️

Die Schrift kann ich leider nicht lesen, aber wenn's da steht, dass diese Wand dem Mani gehört, dann wird's wohl so sein. Schön verziert hat er sie, ein echter Künstler! :-)
