Dzongsar Institute, Bir, H.P. India

Images of Dzongsar Institute in North India. The murals painted on the walls at the entrance of the main temple are of interest because they depict both the new Temple in India and the original Dzongsar Monastery in Kham, Tibet. On another section of wall are King Gesar and several attendant figures along with a quote from the Manjushri Namasangiti Tantra which Khyentse Chokyi Lodro believed was phrophetic and heralding the coming of Gesar to Tibet.
