History
For centuries, Himalayan masks have been used in temples, monasteries, and traditional festivals throughout Nepal. They play an important role in both Hinduism and Buddhism, representing powerful deities, protectors, and spiritual guardians. These masks are worn during sacred dances and rituals to symbolize the victory of wisdom over ignorance and good over evil.
