Scope & content
The Palcho or Pelkor Chode Monastery, Gyantse. The monastery’s main temple was built between 1418 and 1428 and its Kumbum stupa was completed in 1437, by ruler Rabten Kunzang Phak. Kumbum refers to “a hundred thousand images,” representing the number of deities depicted inside. Tsang Province in Gyantse is home to three renowned Kumbum stupas: Gyantse Kumbum—the largest—Jonang Kumbum, and Chung Riwoche Kumbum, all in proximity to the town of Shigatse.
