Interior of the Sera monastery
The interior of Sera called the Coqen Hall which was built in 1710.
The Coqen Hall is the Grand Sutra Hall where monastery monks gather for rituals. The hall, lying at the center of the monastery, is propped up by 183 square wooden pillars and covers an area of l,850 square meters. It is large enough for 7,700 monks to recite sutras at the same time, which makes it the largest of its kind in the Tibetan areas in China. The hall porch is propped up by eight wooden pillars, and has 24 stone steps leading to a large square where monastery monks gather to debate on Buddhist doctrines.
After paying a donation of 10 Yuan I could capture this photo, but had many problems with the contrast of sunlight and shadows.

Ganz schön groß! Fällt aber durch die vielen Stoffe und die warmen Farben gar nicht auf. Im Gegenteil, es sieht richtig gemütlich aus.LG Sigrun
