The Tibetan culture is closely intertwined with Buddhism. Buddhist woodcarving is a traditional way of Tibetan woodcarving that aims to empower culture through designs based on nature. The delicate carving work is commonly found on crossbeams of houses, furniture, doors, and window frames, virtually inspired by ancient Buddhist architecture. This unique style of wood carvings is still under constant innovation for higher standards by expert artists who hold vast knowledge of motifs and design patterns. It reconciles the traditional art with the modern, seeking to expand the valuable cognizance of Tibetan values and their expression in art and literature.

Training on Buddhist wood carving starts with elaborate drawing practice. The beginner starts with traditional designs on paper and is not allowed to work on wood until they are competent in drawing. The student simultaneously also masters the fundamentals of carpentry like cutting and joining the wooden pieces without any hardware. After the completion of studentship which may last upto 13 years, they are then let to try elaborate carvings of thrones and shrine-rooms of monasteries. Thus the artistry has passed from generation to artisans at Norbulingka, Himachal Pradesh, rendering elegant products.
