Paro Dzong, Paro, Bhutan

The spin of prayer wheels and Buddhist Chants are heard in this recording of the daily rituals taking place in Bhutan's oldest (7th century)and most sacred Buddhist Temple, Pana Lhakhang (Kichu Lhakhang).

One can hear a man circling the outer wall reciting a mantra and spinning a series of wall ensconced prayer wheels, ancient seated women operating hand-cranked giant prayer wheels, and locals speaking as they come in out of the fields to offer their respects.
