In January, 2002, eight Gaden Shartse Tibetan Monks created a Yamantaka sand mandala in Grass Valley, CA. Grass Valley is located on the 39th latitude. They asked to have the mandala be considered as part of the Art Line.

Geshe Yeshe Phuntsok and Geshe Lobsang Donyoe conducted a Twenty-one Tara blessing for the Art Line Project at the request of Joan Champion and Marilyn Larson. Following the dissolution of the Yamantaka, packets of sand were presented for inclusion at other Art Line sites.
