The Bamo Lhakang Temple is located on the outer wall of the Lhakang Chenmo Monastery in the north-west corner tower. The various rooms contain a number of clay sculpture of famous Throne Holders of Sakya. The remaining rooms and confusing corridors house small protector chapels for the Three Witches (Bamo) of Sakya. The numerous wall towers of Lhakang Chenmo also serve as residences for senior monks and abbots.
