Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, Tibet

The lady with Dell is our tour guide. We had the luxury of our own tour guide and private car for our stay in Lhasa. It was great because we could plan our own itinerary each day. This is the entrance to the temple.




This woman put down her prayer wheel and took a moment to wash her hands in the courtyard faucet.




This is a close-up of a painted beam.




This is a picture of the courtyard inside the wall but before you enter the temple. This is the oldest temple in Lhasa and the first one that the pilgrims visit. This temple has been in continous use for 1300 years. It is amazing to feel the polished beams inside and know that people have been chanting and praying here for so long. It gives you a real feeling of history and the mysterious past.
