The inauguration of the Dorjee Sempa Khorchen, India’s tallest prayer wheel, by Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister Shri Chowna Mein marks a momentous cultural milestone. Towering as a beacon of spiritual devotion, this monumental structure reflects the rich heritage of the region. With the capacity to hold an astounding 1.6 billion prayers, including 16 Dungyurs (each containing 10 crore prayers), it embodies collective aspirations for peace, harmony, and enlightenment.
Far more than a religious artifact, this prayer wheel is a powerful testament to the enduring cultural traditions of the Buddhist community. It serves as a sanctuary for meditation and reflection, fostering spiritual unity and cultural pride. The meticulous craftsmanship and profound spiritual significance of this installation highlight a steadfast commitment to preserving and celebrating our timeless heritage in an evolving modern world.

What are the benefits of cultural preservation?
Cultural heritage is central to protecting our sense of who we are. It gives us an irrefutable connection to the past to certain social values, beliefs, customs and traditions, that allows us to identify ourselves with others and deepen our sense of unity belonging and national pride.
