The Sherdukpen are traditionally Tibetan Buddhist (Mahaya group) of the Gelugpa sect, though the influence of Tibetan Bonpo shamanistic and animistic tradition is still retained. #asia #india #arunachalpradesh #gompa #prayerwheel #ethnic #religion #buddhism #monastery

A beautiful prayer wheel (or Mani wheel) in the Tengboche monastery, Nepal.

Adorned with written mantras, tradition hold that the act of spinning these wheels carries similar merit to verbally reciting the prayers.

Due to many years of daily use (and exposure to the mountain elements) they often develop an incredible patina like this one has.
