Mani Chho-Khor (Prayer Wheel)

Prayer wheels are meant to be held in the hand and spun as you walk. Within each wheel are rolls of paper containing sacred prayers. It is believed that the prayers are "sent out" as the wheel spins. These are often carried while on pilgrimage. Made of brass, copper, wood, jade, paper, and coral.
