Mani Stones

Another common feature around the landscape were many decorated stones.  These are stones usually engraved and sometimes painted with prayers or other religious symbols.  We saw many examples in a range of sizes, also sometimes stones where laid out as laid mosaics to give a message.

 

 

 

 

Sometimes the engraving is not of such good quality
