The Sacred Grounds of Ogyen Choling in Central Bhutan, by Monique Filsnoel

Monique Filsnoël reveals the wealth of Buddhist religious art at Ogyen Choling, deftly exploring the Iconography of the murals, sculptures and artefacts, and their religious significance as she details the historical context of this exceptional Bhutanese estate and its temple. A multitude of large-scale photographs and detailed diagrams clearly explain and guide the reader throughout the chapels.

This volume makes a unique contribution to the cultural history of Bhutan. Readers focusing on Buddhism and Tibetan civilization will find here a precious complement to enrich their studies.
