Tibetan Musical Instrument

Ragdung The rag-dung is a trumpet-type instrument used in special ritual by monks. The largest form has a length of about sixteen feet and lesser lengths of which the one shown here is the shortest. These are used for higher overtones. This striking instrument is made of copper and used in rituals by providing a drone for chanting. The straight and conical bored horn varies in length from 3 feet to 20 feet! It is usually made in sections that can be telescoped for portability. The horn has shallow cup mouthpiece that resembles the western bugle and is capable of producing 3 different tones.  Kangling There are also smaller hand held trumpets with dragon heads at the bell end.

Tibetan Beautiful Carpet

Tibetan carpet making is an ancient, traditional craft. Tibetans use carpet for many purposes ranging from flooring to wall hanging to horse saddles, though the most common use is as a seating carpet. A typical sleeping carpet measuring around 3ftx5ft (0.9m x 1.6m) is called a khaden.

Carpet is basically used for ground furnishing. The carpets are of 60% with knot, 80% knot, 100% knot. We deliver high quality carpets. All the carpets we have are all handmade, environment friendly, fashionable and rich for home decor or ground furnishing.

In Tibet, people make carpet basically for comfort and warmth.

The Tibetan knotted carpets were normally made from highland’s cheep wool but Tibetan nomads would also use goat and Yak hair.

The Tibetan carpet has its origins in their unique style. The carpet designs are largely symbolic rather than purely decorative and the colors used were those which were considered to be both elegant and of good taste. This quality that gave rise to the legend of the symbolic magic carpet!

Pure highland’s cheep wool carpet is cool to the touch and this gave the Tibetan carpet a further 'magical' and special quality.
