Bhutanese art and crafts are most visible as in its unique architecture, especially the fortresses and the monasteries.
Murals and carvings of Lord Buddha and various other deities adorn the walls and altars of temples and shrines. The Mandala, a geometric design of tantric significance, is a common feature in most dzongs and temples and the eight auspicious signs, are conspicuously painted, embroidered or appliqued on buildings, thangkhas and souvenirs.
Articles for everyday use are still fashioned today as they were centuries ago. Traditional craftmanship is handed down from generation to generation. Bhutan’s artisans are skilled workers in bronze and precious metals, wood and slate carving and clay sculpture.
