I was at LDC yesterday for the Tara Puja and managed to take some pictures of the nun from Khachoe Ghakyil Nunnery constructing the sand mandala. Kachoe Ghakyil Nunnery is located below Kopan Monastery near the sacred Buddhist town of Boudhanath in Nepal's Kathmandu valley.

It is not an easy task and will take about two weeks to complete. The completed San Mandala can be view on the 20th February, 2008 (Day of Miracles) whereby extensive Amithabha Buddha Pure Land & Light Offerings will be held at 3.30pm and 7.30pm.
