Learn to make Torma 
In Kathmandu

Always placed at the center of the prayer hall in a monastery, tormas are ritual cakes usually hand molded from roasted barley flour and butter. They are dyed with different colors and every torma has a special meaning. They could represent a deity or a mandala and also offering or un-attachment. For this workshop you will make something basic that will be completed in three hours. Shechen Tamang, who has been doing this for 12 years, will guide you. After you finish making the torma, you will then be taken inside a prayer hall too. The cost of the workshop is Rs 2,500, which includes all tools and materials. Call 9818421646.
