A Tantric college, Ngagpa is also the oldest structure at Sera. The main hall is dominated by a statue of Sakya Yeshe (wearing a black hat), behind the throne, surrounded by other famous Sera lamas.
There are three chapels to the rear of the hall, the first featuring Jampa and thousand-armed Chenresig, the second with 16 arhats and a large Sakyamuni statue, and the third with a statue of the protective deity Dorje Jigje, as well as Namtöse (Vaishravana), the guardian of the north, to the right, who rides a snow lion and holds a mongoose that vomits jewels. There are also a couple of rooms upstairs featuring Tsepame, the eight medicine buddhas (Menlha) and the funeral chörtens of several past abbots.
After exiting, most pilgrims pay a visit to the nearby Jarung Kangtsang residential college.
