Of all koras, the Barkhor kora is probably the most famous and most used by Tibetan Buddhists. A continuous stream of pilgrims flows past market stalls and comes to a halt in front of the Jokhang Temple.
The kora is especially beautiful and interesting during the early morning and the late afternoon, not just for the light, but also because those times draw most pilgrims. Early morning is the best time to see the kora for what it really is: a constant flow of pilgrims; the market stalls are not yet open for business and it seems more serious. You can follow the flow, but also just stop and watch the flow walk by. Occasionally, you will see pilgrims prostrating, but most walk. Actually, for many pilgrims walking the kora seems to be not just a religious, but also a social activity: you can see pilgrims chatting, laughing, and answering their mobile phone. It gives a nice relaxed atmosphere to the area. The Barkhor kora takes on a more relaxed atmosphere in the afternoon when it resembles more a Mediterranean stroll, the kora basically is a one-way street.
