A young Tibetan nun-artist, wearing a toga that slipped off one breast in the process, draws a sacred mandala on sand using multicolored sand made of crushed gemstones. At the center of the mandala is the Buddha, seated in the core of a lotus. Surrounding layers include a ring of multicolored lotus petals, done in tones. The mandala is not yet complete, there is no outer circle. Highly detailed symmetrical composition, rich mineral pigments, authentic Himalayan Buddhist art style, meditative atmosphere.
