On the roof top of the holy Jokhang monastery
The Jokhang temple is a four-story construction, with roofs covered with gilded bronze tiles. The architectural style is based on the Indian vihara design, and was later extended resulting in a blend of Nepalese and Tang Dynasty styles. The rooftop statues of two golden deer flanking a Dharma wheel is iconic.
We were lucky to get up to the roof top, although for not everybody its allowed.
The view down into the yard gives a different impression about the scale of the worshippers coming into the temple.
