Prayer wheels come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The barrels contain mantras that are sent to the heavens. Like koras,(circumbulations around a holy or sacred site), these should always be carried out in a clock-wise direction. The largest wheels take some turning and are often turned either three or eight times.
There are over 500 prayer wheels scattered around the village of Mcleod Ganj and are spun by young and old Tibetans alike.
I shot the following brief footage at the main temple.
