As I explored the captivating Ogyen Choling Palace Museum nestled in Bhutan's picturesque Tang Valley, I found myself immediately immersed in a bygone era, reminiscent of the flourishing aristocracy of 17th to 19th-century Bhutan. Within the museum's enchanting courtyard, a delightful scene unfolded before me—a group of kitchen staff donning their splendid "traditional Sunday outfits," radiating warmth and joy. Inspired by their presence, I mustered up the courage to approach two charming ladies and invited them to join me in one of the nearby rooms, where the soft lighting provided an ideal backdrop for a series of headshots. They happily agreed, and we proceeded with the impromptu photo session - Ogyen Choling Palace Museum, Tang Valley, Bhutan.
As I was exploring the Ogyen Choling Palace Museum in the Tang Valley of Bhutan, I came across an elderly man wandering around the courtyard. To me, his weathered face spoke of a life filled with hard work. I was immediately drawn to him and approached him with a request to pose for a photo. He kindly agreed, and I was able to capture his unique character. His presence at the museum added an extra layer of depth and authenticity to my experience. The museum itself is a treasure trove of Bhutanese culture and history, showcasing the traditions and lifestyles of the Bhutanese aristocracy during the 17th to 19th centuries. The collection includes a wide range of items such as traditional clothing, jewelry, weapons, and household items, as well as beautiful murals and paintings that adorn the walls of the palace. The museum provided an ideal backdrop for the pictures I wanted to capture for my series titled "Faces from Far Away." – Ogyen Choling Palace Museum, Tang Valley, Bhutan.

As I wandered through the Ogyen Choling Palace Museum in Bhutan's Tang Valley, I felt like I had been transported back in time to the 17th to 19th centuries when the Bhutanese aristocracy lived their lives. Our guide through the four-story museum was Kunzang Choden, the current curator and a 20th generation descendant of the original family. The artifacts on display were fascinating and provided a glimpse into Bhutan's rich culture and history. It was evident that the family took great pride in preserving their country's heritage.In the museum's courtyard, I was delighted to see the staff all dressed up in their "traditional Sunday outfit" and happy to pose for a group portrait - Ogyen Choling Palace Museum, Tang Valley, Bhutan.

At the monastery of Gundun Puntsok Choling in Sengeshong Magotsang, which was founded in the 17th century on the site of a former Nyingmapa temple, there are currently 150 monks. At the entrance there is a row of newly constructed stupas.
The Assembly Hall has original ceiling panels, dating to the 1910s. These survived the ravages of the Cultural Revolution because the building was used as a wheat granary during that turbulent period. Three of its wall panels are also original: one on the left depicting the thousand buddhas of the aeon and two on the right that depict Vajrabhairava and Mahakala. To the left there is a Jampa Lhakang, containing enormous and outstanding clay images: Maitreya, flanked by Manjushri (twice), Mahakarunika and Tsongkhapa. The image of Manjushri to the left is upright, as is that of Mmahakarunika to the right. The central Maitreya is the masterpiece of the recently deceased artist and sculptor Gyatso. A new Jokhang has recently been constructed to the right, on a raised platform. To the left of the courtyard, within its own enclosure wall, there is a Tsongkhapa Lhakang, containing a central image of Tsongkhapa, surrounded by 1000 miniature images of Manjughosa. Two panels in its portico have murals depicting the guardian kings, painted with pigments compounded from gold, silver and other precious substances. Surrounding the temple complexes at bothe Yagotsang and Magotsang, are a number of artist`s studios, where modern paintings produced by the monks and laity are on sale. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...
As I strolled through the courtyard of the Ogyen Choling Palace Museum in the Tang Valley of Bhutan, my ears were caught by the sound of voices and laughter emanating from an open doorway. My gaze fell upon an elderly man with a weathered face, dressed in traditional clothing, sitting in the doorway. I couldn't discern whether he was listening to the chatter of a group of elderly women inside the room or engaged in prayer... Summoning my courage, I approached the man and requested to take his picture. He didn't react at first, but after I snapped a few shots, lowered my camera, and nodded my thanks, he smiled back at me. I am still pondering what he might have been thinking at that moment... – Ogyen Choling Palace Museum, Tang Valley, Bhutan

Dzogchen Gonpa རྫོགས་ཆེན་དགོན་པ་
Dzochen Rudam Orgyen Samten Choling Gonpa རྫོགས་ཆེན་དགོན་པ་ Dzogchen Monastery (Tib. rdzogs chen dgon pa) is one of the six great monasteries of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Concealed valley of Rudam Kyitram, dominated to the southwest by the jagged snow peaks of Mount Dorje Ziltrom 5816 m.
The monastery was founded in 1684-1685 on the advice of the Fifth Dalai Lama, by the charismatic the First Dzogchen Pema Rigdzin (1625-1697), and it was subsequently maintained by his students, including Zhechen Rabjam Tenpei Gyeltsen, and by his successive incarnations. Among the latter, the Second Dzogchen Gyurme Tekchok Tenzin (1699-1758) is known to have inspired the king of Derge to construct the famous Derge Parkhang, the Third Dzogchen Ngedon Tenzin Zangpo (1759-1792) built 13 hermitages, colleges and mantra-wheels, the Fourth Dzogchen Migyur Namkei Dorje (b 1793) presided over the monastery when its greatest college was founded, and the Fifth Dzogchen Tubten Chokyi Dorje (1872-1935) increased its branches to over 200 throughout Kham, Amdo and Central Tibet. The mother monastery itself had a population of 1000 monks. The Sixth Dzogchen Jikdrel Jangchub Dorje (1935-1959) died tragically during the resistance to the Chinese occupation of East Tibet, and his reliquary is even now revered in the main temple. The Seventh Dzogchen Rinpoche lives in Karnataka in South India, where he has constructed a branch of the monastery. Meanwhile, at the mother monastery in Kham, an alternative Dzogchen Rinpoche has recently been recognized. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...

Recipe created by "Vegan Richa - www.veganricha.com/kadai-chole-chana-spiced-chickpeas-and...
Loved the spice mix:
- chopped ginger
- garlic
- ground coriander
- ground cumin
- chilli flakes
- paprika
- a cinnamon stick
- bayleaf
then:
- more minced ginger
- smoked paprika
- more coriander
- garam masala
- lemon juice
Vegetables:
- Chickpeas
- Potatoes
- Tomatoes
- green capsicum
- sliced onion and fresh cilantro for garnish, with a sprinkle of smoked paprika
Served with rice (as usual...) but it can be served with flat bread or in a wrap.
Easy to cook in the tagine, but think I'd like a deeper cast iron pot now to double the quantity and then I wouldn't have to cook every day :)
