Renovation of the prayer wheel of the 1st Shangpa Rinpoche

The prayer wheel was built in the village of Phuwa in Upper Mustang by the 1st Shangpa Rinpoche (1879-1957) and was personally inaugurated by him. It is one of his most precious pieces. The prayer wheel was in very poor condition and was therefore chosen as our first focus in the Mustang restoration project.

It has now been completely renovated inside and out and shines in new splendor. At the moment, work is being completed on the house in which the prayer wheel is located.

The project manager and contact person is Dr. Eberhard Steinbauer.
