McLeod Ganj. The Tsuglagkhang.

The Tsuglagkhang is the equivalent of the
Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, It comprises a gilded statue of the Sakyamuni Buddha, flanked by
Avalokitesvara, the Tibetan deity of compassion, and Padmasambhava, the Indian scholar who introduced Buddhism to Tibet. The statue contains several relics rescued from the Jokhang Temple during the Cultural Revolution.
