This picture taken in May 2002 shows part of the old
wall. On the top of the wall there are many, sometimes very small
stones as well as 'Mani' stones, which are stones carved with the
Buddhist mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum". These are placed on
top of the wall by Tibetan Buddhists whilst doing Cora, which is the
practice of walking clockwise around a pilgrimage site while focusing
on visualizations and mantras, thus unifying one's body, speech and
mind. Every time the practitioner has finished one round, he or she
puts a stone on top of the wall as encouragement for him or herself
and others to follow this ancient practice. Index of Photographs
