Wall Murals
The entrance to many dzongs and temples have large painted murals. These are painted on canvas elsewhere and then affixed to the walls. There were several recurring pictures we particular liked.
Wheel of Rebirth shows 6 realms of sentient beings: gods, demigods, humans, animals, tormented spirits and hell-bound beings.
Four Nobel Friends represents the cooperation between four animals, elephant, monkey, hare and peacock, in growing a fruit tree and then gathering its fruit.
