Local schools watch the sand mandala start
and learn how to print their own prayer flags
and make it into the local gazette newspaper
Grain by grain the mandala takes shape
almost finished the celestial mandala
sculpting perfection out of butter
Finished display - out of butter
One of the thangkas - Kalachakra
The closing ceremony & dismantling of the mandala
Symbolising the Impermanence of things
procession through the High Street with sacred music
cycle complete - back to the earth again
