The Large Prayer Wheel House
north side of the kora

Halfway down the north side of the kora, there is a small temple encasing a large prayer wheel. A row of small prayer wheels is mounted on the square building's outer walls. Many Tibetans turn the large prayer wheel thrice, then turn all the smaller wheels on the outside to earn religious merit.
