Gadong Temple, Buddhist temple in Lhasa, China.
The Gadong Temple features traditional Tibetan architectural elements with white walls, red trim, and multiple prayer halls spread across its grounds.
Founded in the eleventh century by Zingpo Sherapa, this monastery gained recognition when Tsongkhapa, founder of Geluk school, meditated in a nearby cave.
The temple maintains its position as the seat of the Gadong oracle, who communicates with Pehar Gyelpo, one of Tibet's protective deities.
Located at coordinates 29.669444, 91.004722, the temple maintains regular visiting hours and requires appropriate dress code for entry into prayer halls.
Unlike other Tibetan oracles, the Gadong oracle position passes from father to son rather than through monastic succession.
