Kora- walking around the temples in a clockwise direction

As you see in picture, people walking around the temples in a clockwise direction, spinning prayer wheels and chanting as they go as its a part of Tibetan tradition and culture. Walking around the religious site in a clockwise direction is called Kora. Its a part of Buddhist practice to walk a route around religious places to gain good karma and purifying negative karma. Its a huge part of Tibetan Buddhist traditions, and an integral part of any Tibetan Buddhist's life. it is also a huge part of a Tibetan person’s life. Buddhism teaches that wake around a religious places can earn religious merit, which is the basis for a better life in the future and is the foundation of all progress on the spiritual path to enlightenment. The practice is simple enough for anyone to be able to do it, and is a practical way of calming the mind, body, and spirit, all at the same time. By reciting the mantras as you walk, and cultivating the mental aspirations for the benefit of all life, it allows the involvement of all three fields of human action: physical; verbal; and mental. The accumulation of merit is part of the path to enlightenment, and the aim of all Buddhists is to attain spiritual and mental enlightenment.

It is also common for Tibetans to prostrate themselves along the route of the kora. In most cases, the pilgrim will prostrate themselves the entire length of their body, then rise to step to the spot where their hands reached. They will then prostrate again from that spot, and continue like this throughout the whole kora. This takes up a huge amount of time and energy, both physical and spiritual, and is believed to provide a massive increase in the spiritual benefits of the kora.
However, this is one of the more extreme methods of prostrating, and only the most devout do this on all koras
