Praying cylinders in the village of Kulsi on the Indus

1862

Painting of the praying cylinders in the village of Kulsi on the river Indus. Set within a mountainous landscape, the praying cylinders are attached to a Chorten, a Buddhist Stupa archetypal to Tibet. A local woman, dressed in a striped skirt, turns the wheel as she recites a mantra or sacred utterance while other locals are sitting on the rocks nearby. A tea picker, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, is seen in conversation in the forefront.
