Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Situated on a brusque ridge high above the settlement, the Skurbuchan Khar (Palace temple), is a visually powerful structure and an important regional landmark. It has high historical and spiritual significance for the local population and surrounding communities. The rammed-earth fortified tower was extended and converted, probably in the mid-nineteenth century, to a temple. The interior contains a colossal statue of the thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara, wall paintings, eight chörtens, and moveable clay statuary.
The entire temple complex is maintained by the monks of the Skurbuchan Monastery of Drikung-Khargyud lineage and continues to maintain the religious functions associated with it. The participation of the community in every ritual that takes place in the temple is significantly high and it is also frequently visited by the villagers, mainly the elders, to perform the skora around the temple structure. |
