ℹ️ About

Pelkor Chode (Baiju Si) in Gyantse, Tibet, is a rare monastery serving three Tibetan Buddhist sects simultaneously. Its most famous feature is the Gyantse Kumbum (Ten Thousand Images Stupa), an extraordinary 8-story pagoda built in 1418 CE with 108 chapels distributed across its levels, each containing murals and sculptures. The Kumbum represents a three-dimensional mandala of the Buddhist cosmos and is unique in all of Tibet.
