There are doors we pass without comment

Strange to think that Tantric Buddhism reached the Himalayas from India, where it was developed. But the cultures have diverged so much over many centuries that houses decorated with the central motifs of tantrism look very odd to our eyes.

Phallic motifs are incredibly common in Bhutan. We saw it on doors across the country. At a roadside picnic spot the only source of water was the fountain that you see above. Bhutan is different in many ways, and this is one of them.
