Rimdro is an auspicious full day ceremony performed by 4 – 6 monks to grant a long life, bestow prosperity, well being and the fulfillment of any personal requests. To a symphony of drums, horns, cymbals and bells, the monks will chant the holy texts and mantras. Your actual presence is only required for a short duration as the blessing continues to flow from morning to night.
