Paro Taktsang
Tigers Nest perched on a rugged rocky cliff high in the Himalayas. A pine tree forest fills the slopes of the mountain. As legend has it, Padmasambava landed at Paro Taktsang to meditate when he brought Buddhism to Bhutan in the seventh century. He is said to have arrived on a flying tiger which had recently been his Tibetan concubine. He then meditated in a cave high on the mountain for four months after which he subdued the local ademonsa and began the conversion of the Bhutanese to Buddhism

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring Paro Taktsang, also known as Tigers Nest, perched majestically on a rugged rocky cliff in the Himalayas. The sheer beauty of this sacred site is enhanced by the lush pine tree forest that adorns the slopes of the mountain. Legend has it that in the seventh century, Padmasambava, an esteemed Buddhist master, arrived at Paro Taktsang to meditate and spread Buddhism to Bhutan. It is said that he descended upon this holy place riding a flying tiger which had once been his Tibetan concubine. After landing here, he embarked on a four-month-long meditation retreat within a cave nestled high on the mountain. During his time in seclusion, Padmasambava not only found inner peace but also tamed local demons and began converting Bhutanese locals to Buddhism. This historical significance adds an ethereal aura to Paro Taktsang and makes it one of Bhutan's most revered spiritual destinations. The atmosphere surrounding this photograph exudes tranquility and mystique as fog gently blankets the landscape. Mark A Paulda's artistic portrayal perfectly encapsulates both the natural beauty of this idyllic location and its profound religious heritage. Whether you seek solace amidst nature or wish to explore ancient legends tied with spirituality, this stunning print serves as a reminder of Paro Taktsang's timeless allure in Asia's breathtaking landscapes.
