Buddhist C 1910 Dalai Dominates Lhasa Populace Tibet Potala
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken around 1910, captures the awe-inspiring Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet. The Potala, once the residence of the Dalai Lama, stands proudly over the town, its grandeur and historical significance undeniable. The image transports us back in time to an era when Tibet, a land of rich cultural heritage and deep spiritual traditions, was largely untouched by the modern world. The Potala Palace, with its red and white walls and golden roofs, is a testament to Tibetan architectural brilliance and Buddhist art. It is said that the palace was built in the 7th century and has been the seat of political and religious power in Tibet for centuries. The Dalai Lamas, the spiritual and temporal leaders of Tibetan Buddhism, have resided here since the 15th century. The populace of Lhasa, as seen in this photograph, is predominantly Buddhist, reflecting the deep-rooted faith and devotion of the people. Monks and nuns, dressed in traditional robes, can be seen going about their daily routines, while laypeople offer prayers and perform rituals. The Potala Palace, with its sacred relics and treasures, is the heart of Tibetan Buddhism, drawing pilgrims from all corners of the world. This photograph, taken around 1910, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the Potala Palace and the Buddhist faith dominated the town of Lhasa, shaping the lives and beliefs of its people.
