How many times have you sent a prayer skyward, hoping for it to be heard? At Mani Dungkhor in Paro, prayers take a physical form, spun into existence by the tireless rotation of prayer wheels. Mani Dungkhor isn’t just a place to admire these intricate wheels; it’s a testament to a living tradition. Samdrup, a man who has dedicated over three decades of his life to this craft, embodies this dedication. Imagine the rhythmic whirring of his tools, the scent of wood shavings filling the air as he meticulously shapes each prayer wheel. This isn’t just carpentry; it’s an act of devotion. He learned from his late uncle, inheriting a legacy that stretches back generations.
