In this photo print, we are transported to the enchanting Chimi Lhakhang temple in Punakha, Bhutan. Dating back to 1499, this sacred site holds immense spiritual significance and is dedicated to the Divine Madman Lama Drukpa Kunley. At its heart stands a woman engrossed in her prayerful ritual, spinning a vibrant prayer wheel with utmost devotion. Her white hair gracefully cascades down her back as she engages in this ancient Buddhist practice. The motion captured in the photograph adds an ethereal quality, emphasizing the profound connection between spirituality and movement.
