Butter Becomes Devotionམར་གྱིས་བཀུར་བ་ཞིག་ཏུ་འགྱུར།Yak butter and tsampa flour, kneaded with mineral pigments, shaped into sacred forms that honor the dharma.
Each Layer a Prayerརིམ་པ་རེ་རེར་སྨོན་ལམ།Tiered cones rise in concentric bands — flame crowns above lotus pedestals, every ridge carved by devoted hands.
Lamplight Against the Darkམར་མེའི་འོད་ཟེར་ནག་པོར་འཕྲོ།Displayed on monastery altars beside flickering butter lamps, each sculpture glows with an inner radiance that seems to breathe.
Months of Craft, One Offeringཟླ་བ་མང་པོའི་བཟོ་རྩལ།Artisans prepare through the long winter for Losar — then the torma are consecrated, venerated, and returned to the earth.
