Zen Circle
Zen art exemplifies the Zen ideals of simplicity and spontaneity, and most often takes the form of calligraphy and simple ink drawings.
The Zen circle, a popular motif in Zen art, represents the entire universe in a single, perfect stroke. Although simple, images like this are difficult to paint successfully and thus must be done with a clear mind focused on the task.

Decorated Bhairav, Indra Jatra
Nepal is a land of Festivals. For the Nepalese, festivals are not merely the annual spectacles, but also are a living part of their rich cultural heritage. Festivals effectively bind together the Nepalese people of diverse cultural backgrounds and beliefs into one nation. Most Nepalese festivals are related to different Hindu and Buddhist gods and goddesses and they are celebrated on such days consecrated for them by religion and tradition.
Others are observed in honor of personal relatives such as festivals of Matatirtha and Gaijatra. Yet other are held to herald the different seasons or to mark the beginning or end of agricultural cycle. Some festivals are of national significance such as Dashain or Tihar; some are confined to the Katmandu Valley, while still others are celebrated only within one or two villages or cities.

A rosary is a specialized article used to count the times of chanting when Buddhist believers chant Buddhist scriptures. A rosary usually has 108 beads, but some have 20-30 beads. Most of them are made of Bodhi seeds, corals, glass, ember or hardwood. In Tibet, Buddhist believers think it a great and meritorious deed to make rosaries with their own skulls. This rosary is made of a human skull. Each bead is inlaid with turquoises, corals, pearls, gold and silver. Therefore, it is a priceless treasure.
