Tibet Lhasa 04 02 Potala Songtsen Gampo  [26 of 36]


Tradition holds that the small, dim chapel of Chogyal Drubphuk was the cave where King Songtsen Gampo meditated. His statue has a high turban with the head of Amitabha emerging from the top. It is likely that the statue was created between 750-850.
