Many Mani
Art Description
A prayer wheel is a cylindrical wheel on a spindle containing mantras, commonly found in Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Spinning the wheel is believed to be equivalent to reciting the mantras within, accumulating merit and promoting well-being. These wheels are often found at temples, monasteries, and along pilgrimage routes in Bhutan.

Born 1992, from Tsirang
After joining VAST Bhutan, art has become my life. I have been exploring the interdisciplinary arts, from painting, sculpting to performance arts and even carpentry and video blogging.
I do portraits and landscapes in acrylics and watercolour. Working on various projects led by Asha has given me a lot of experience and confidence. I was privileged to win a scholarship to study art in India through VAST Bhutan but was unable to complete my course due to my poor health. At present, I am volunteering at VAST Bhutan.
I enjoy doing contemporary art, which gives me a sense of freedom to express myself.
