Wooden model of a prayer wall
Prayer walls (mani walls) are clusters of stone slabs into which short texts, mainly mantras or images, are carved. There are considerable variations in terms of the shape, size and design of the stone slabs. Mani walls have a protective function and are often found along pilgrimage routes and near large monasteries. SM8HF
