Tsuglkang

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:08:43

Straight ahead from the Tabo Gompa entrance, a doorway leads through the Zal-Ma antechamber into the spectacular main assembly hall, the Tsuglkang, where near-life-size clay sculptures of 32 bodhisattvas line the walls around a statue of a four-bodied Vairochana Buddha turning the wheel of law. Behind the Vairochana, the inner sanctuary holds a stucco Amitabha Buddha and two smaller bodhisattvas. The ambulatory behind is adorned with hundreds of small and large lotus-position figures.
