Tsangdram

Tsangdram is an ancient temple in central Tibet, traditionally attributed to the seventh-century ruler Songtsen Gampo. Tibetan sacred geography imagines the land as the body of a great demoness, subdued by temples built upon her limbs and joints. Tsangdram is counted among these temples and placed on her right hip. The story binds this small sanctuary to the wider tradition of the introduction and establishment of Buddhism in Tibet.
