Tibetan chants
Buddhist monks' recitations
Tibetan chants are vocal practices from Tibetan Buddhist tradition, typically performed by monks in monasteries.
The most distinctive form involves overtone singing, where a single voice produces multiple pitches simultaneously—a deep drone with higher harmonics hovering above.
Chants accompany meditation, prayer, and ritual, often with horns, drums, and bells.
The Tibetan chants echoed through the temple.
