Tibet

I’ve been to Tibetan region in nepal and I notice that they use specific kind of door curtain with designs representing tibetan culture …arts dragon etc etc…do you know, whats the website for those tibetian door curtain, where the details can be found for each specific design of the curtain…or if you know you can write it here

There are many, many different designs. You can find some of them, and some short explanations about the motifs, here:

A little more about a few of the motifs: http://www.artelino.com/articles/tibetan-rugs-designs.asp

And if you want to buy for yourself, I recommend to buy it from some of the many places that give support to either Tibetan monks and nuns or Tibetan Buddhism in general:
