Greiti faktai: Over 1,000 years old, this temple holds the revered Jowo Rinpoche statue, believed to be blessed by the Buddha himself. Pilgrims often prostrate themselves up to 300 times along the temple's path during holy visits.
Akcentai: The golden roof shines vividly in the sunlight, housing three main halls filled with Buddhist art and scriptures. A unique tradition lets visitors watch pilgrims perform clockwise circumambulation, spinning prayer wheels and offering silk scarves at every turn.
