The rug design revolves around a idea of interconnections. The red knot in the center is an abstract idea of one of the eight symbols of Buddhism, which is the infinity knot that ties all three components. The Chinese clouds envelop the landscape of the place at the same time, an expression of Buddhist culture and history. The eyes on the left are influenced by the famous mask dance in the Pemayangtse Monastery, representing the local people and their overlap with the monastery and faith. The lower part of the rug represents the lines, an abstraction of the Lepcha weave influenced by the local community. The colors are drawn from the lush landscapes – the vibrant green of the forests, the deep blue of the sacred lakes, and the red tones of the monasteries – all infuse the rug with the essence of nature.
