In the Chapel of the Holy Born are two similarly sized statues sharing a joint throne, Shakyamuni in solid gold and the Great Fifth Dalai Lama in silver. The toranas behind the statues are finely carved with garuda and female subterranean figures. Shakyamuni was based on the Jowo Shakyamuni in the Jokhang Temple. The Fifth wears the Gelugpa yellow hat with his right hand in the teaching mudra and his left hand holding the dharma wheel.
