Incense Kiln and Prayer Pole
south side of the kora

During the day, vendors sell clothes, thankas (religious paintings), prayer flags, sculptures, shoes and all kinds of other goods at the metal stalls surrounding this incense kiln and all along the kora. On auspicious days, such as full moons and holidays, many people burn juniper in the kilns, filling the air with white smoke. The south side of the Jokhang is at rear.
