The other day I talked about religious objects...the mani stones and the mani or prayer wheels...these pictures are of STUPAS. They represent the Budda because he wanted his ashes left in a stupa. There are eight different designs of stupas .
On other pages of the blog you see prayer flags. They are every where including all the bridges we crossed. There are 5 colors to signify the elements..yellow to signify earth....red for fire...green for wood...blue for sky and water and white for iron.
It is said anyone building or showing a religious monument or object gains spiritual merit.
Just catching up from the last few days, I've been sick again, but just a cold. We love your blog. We are so sorry you got sick but so grateful you are ok! What an adventure and you are right that what you did was no feat. Thanks for sharing the stories and pictures, it took us to another part of the world that we may never see for ourselves. Hope you get lots of sleep and get home soon. Love you, Chris, Wendy and Taigen
