Tashilunpo Monastery...boundary wall


This high wall encircled the Monastery complex completely. The sacred pilgrim path, or kora, follows the outside of the wall up the hill, all the way around. Walked in a clockwise direction, of course. On the lower right side, on the outside of the wall you can see a row of prayer wheels lining the kora. Most all of the entire kora is lined by a row of prayer wheels built into racks similar to these.
