The Pelkor Chöde, built between 1418 and 1425, is an imposing severe building that houses superb works of art. Only four buildings remain: the three-storey main chanting hall, the Kumbum, a dormitory for the monks, and the thangka wall. The entrance to Pelkor Chöde has modern statues of the four guardian Kings. The orange-faced statue is Vaishravana, the guardian of the north, holding a victory banner and a jewel-spitting mongoose. He is also called Jambhala, the Bodhisattva of wealth and abundance.
