Exploring around Tibetan Lhasa...distilled offerings


Small booth in an entrance courtyard selling grain alcohol to leave as offerings at appropriate spots on altars in the several chapels within this complex. The smell of this particular type of alcohol is another unique and unforgettable smell I will forever associate with Tibet.... combined with the pungent odor of yak butter it is THE smell of Tibetan monastaries!
