One of the monks leans over the table as he works to line the outer circle.
A table holding the sand and chakpurs needed for the mandala.
The monk empties excess sand from his chakpur so he can work on a different piece.
A monk refills his chakpur with green sand so he can work on the interior of the mandala.
All four monks are focused on the mandala.
The mandala is nearly complete and on Friday it will be washed away.
