This ornate lobby is typical of the craftsmanship through this country. The artists are trained (by the gov) in art institutes then are gainfully employed crafting interior and exteriors. The work is ornate and detailed. Such eye-popping yet everyday visuals are around each corner for the lucky Bhutanese who call this amazing country HOME.
Our very quiet and incredibly respectful driver, Kinley.
Every morning the countryside is smoking with incense burners. The combination of jasmine, cypress and hemlock fill the air with sweetness. The purpose is to repeal the wrathful and appease the gods.
Also, along paths, buildings, bridges, random locations... prayer wheels pop up everywhere. This display at the parking area at the RKPO has the incense burner as well as sustainable prayer wheels. Note they are made of recycled water bottles and painted in their traditional colors.
