The paintings on the inside of the entrance are the best preserved that we have seen, They represent the guards. The Palace is full of artifacts. Every Llama is buired there, in massive gold tombs. Each one bought by donations. The Tibetans use Yak butter to offer to spirits a light to find thier way to the next incarnation. Consequently there are large tray/chalise things all over the place with multipul wiks in them. The pilgrims, bring the butter from thier farms, or buy it in town and scoop it into the large candels. I could definatelly smell the animally scent of the butter. But Jim didn't notice it.

We are not alowd to take photos of the inside, so you will have to take my work for it, it is an amazing place. There are multipul chanting rooms where hundreds of Monks can do thier stuff, and huge chambers of scrolls and documnets that are more than 1000 years old.

Behind us in this photo is the current Llamas chambers (which we saw from the inside. Small and unassuming) and the balcony from which he can watch presentations on the terrace where we are standing.
