Tibet Relief Fund Summer Exhibition – Tashi Lhunpo Monks

Tibet Relief Fund is hosting an exhibition of photos of the Tashi Lhunpo monastery in south India.

Geoff Harris, the photographer, recently travelled to the monastery and spent a week photographing the Tibetan Buddhist monks and their activities.

His shots paint a vivid picture of monastic life; debating sessions, cooking and Losar celebrations are just a few activities you can see in Geoff's photos.

Two of the Tashi Lhunpo monks will be present at the exhibition on Friday, creating a sand mandala. Six monks will come back on Saturday to finish the mandala and then destroy it in the canal nearby in a traditional ritual. This is an event not to be missed!

The exhibition and mandala will be open from 10am – 5pm on Friday and 12pm – 4pm on Saturday, aiming for the monks to destroy the mandala around 3.30pm.
