Protector Chapel, Lhakang Chenmo, Sakya

These are images of the main Protector Chapel in Lhakang Chenmo Monastery, Sakya, Tibet. There are of course many smaller protector chapels in other buildings but this is the main free standing Protector Chapel. It primarily contains masks of the different deities and a selection of Bamo masks. The large standing central image of Panjarnata carved in sandalwood was a gift of the elder Drolma Podrang Dungse Rinpoche.
