The most sacred of sacred buildings in Tibet, the Jokhang is like a beehive with devout Tibetans flowing in and out, a magnet drawing pilgrims from the remotest areas of the country.
The Jokhang was initially constructed, in the 7th century, by legendary king Songtsen Gampo, to house an image of Askhobhya brought to Tibet by Nepalese princess Bhrikuti. Jowo Sakyamuni, another Buddha image, was taken to Tibet by princess Wencheng, and at first housed in a separate place, Ramoche temple, north of the Jokhang. However, after Songtsen Gampo died, princess Wencheng moved this statue to the Jokhang too. The Jowo Sakyamuni statue has become the single most important and sacred of all objects of Tibetan Buddhism. Apart from this, the complex is full of venerated religious statues and other objects, which explains the endless stream of pilgrims around and in it.
