Introduction

Jokhang Temple is located in the center of Lhasa and is the most sacred and important temple in Tibetan Buddhism. Built in the 7th century by King Songtsen Gampo, it houses the Jowo Rinpoche — a life-sized statue of the young Sakyamuni Buddha, the most venerated image in Tibet. The temple is surrounded by Barkhor Street, where pilgrims perform kora (circumambulation) around the temple. The golden roof and the constant stream of prostrating pilgrims create an atmosphere of profound devotion.
