Mustang Lo Manthang 04 03 Jampa Gompa Main Floor Large Statue Of Jampa Maitreya  [18 of 22]


The central feature of the three-story Jampa Lhakhang in Lo Manthang is an enormous 15m gilded clay statue of an enthroned Jampa (Maitreya), the Future Buddha. In the light from the open door, the huge golden figure glows softly. The body and crowned head of the statue rise into the lhakhang, the second or middle floor, where they are covered with a full ceiling overhead. The base of Jampa's throne is set into a smaller room at the level of the courtyard. The paintings on this first floor are being restored as of 2008.
