Behind the scene

Shot near Boudhanath, a holy Buddhist site in Kathmandu, Nepal. A prayer wheel is a cylindrical 'wheel' on a spindle made from metal, wood, stone, leather, or even coarse cotton. Traditionally, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is written in Sanskrit externally on the wheel. Many wheels were placed in the site. And a little girl was turning around one of big wheels. The wheel seemed to be too big for her.
