5.5-Inch Tibetan Prayer Wheel – 2-Line Mantra & Potala Gate Frame | Handmade in Nepal
This 5.5-Inch Tibetan Prayer Wheel is a finely handcrafted Dharma Wheel created by master artisans in Nepal. Featuring a 2-line Om Mani Padme Hum mantra embossed in brass on a copper body, it rests securely on a beautifully detailed Potala Gate-style brass frame, symbolizing spiritual passage and enlightenment.
The Potala Gate design draws inspiration from the grand entrance of the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet—the sacred residence of the Dalai Lamas and a symbol of the path to spiritual awakening. Just as the Potala Gate represents the doorway to higher consciousness, this prayer wheel serves as a gateway to inner peace and compassion through mindful rotation.
Inside the wheel is a hand-rolled scroll containing thousands of printed mantras. When spun clockwise, it is believed to radiate blessings, purify negative karma, and generate spiritual merit. Compact yet deeply symbolic, this piece is ideal for home altars, meditation tables, or personal shrines.

Spiritual Meaning of the Potala Gate
