The Norbulingka Institute's Exhibits Buildings and Gardens
Great care and planning goes into construction and landscaping at Norbulingka Institute. The elaborate appearance of the Tibetan-influenced buildings is accomplished at low cost using inexpensive local materials. Labour costs in this rural area are minimal, and the work provides much-needed employment for local people. The extensive artistic embellishments are applied by the thangka painters and apprentices to enhance the beauty of the Norbulingka Institute. For the apprentices, this work is part of their training. The task also provides our artists with invaluable experience, as the painting of architectural murals and decoration is quite different from work done on canvas.
