Tibetan ritual items represent different aspects of the Buddhist religion and belief system. Different objects hold different roles and are useful during the rituals. Normally, Tibetan Buddhists leave offerings and gifts to a Buddha in the hopes it will grant them good luck and fortune. The ritual objects can help in ensuring that this process works and that the Buddha hears the gift bearer’s wishes. Most objects used by Tibetan monks are ornate and well crafted. They tend to take on the shapes, texture, and colors of rare metals and stones. Gold features heavily amongst the different objects. They are using Prayer bell, Damaru (Small drum) and Dorji for the ritual. This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest collection of HD ima
