Exploring around Tibetan Lhasa... chapel paintings



In the Tibetan quarter of Lhasa there are about a dozen smaller monastaries/temples/chapels hidden amongst the maze of alleys and inner courtyards. We set off one day with vague directions to a few of these locations, and the hopes of finding as many others as we could. We began to identify the holy buildings by the wide band of brown around the top, distinguishing them from other buildings, which never had this brown band. We found all but one of the sites. This was in a small inner chapel off of the Barkhor.
