Featured Zhang Zhung Site

The large Buddhist monastic complex and elite residence of Tsarang was founded well after the second diffusion of Buddhism (bstan pa phyi dar). On the summit of the flat-topped hill there are the ruins of a Gugé palace as well as a network of tunnels and chambers inside the formation. These were used for the storage of provisions, not as a winter palace, as is sometimes claimed.
