Nechung, Buddhist temple in Doilungdêqên District, China.
The temple complex features multiple halls, courtyards, and a central shrine dedicated to the protector deity Pehar Gyalpo with traditional Tibetan architectural elements.
The Fifth Dalai Lama established Nechung Monastery in 1681, designating it as the residence for the State Oracle of Tibet and a center for spiritual guidance.
The monastery maintains the tradition of oracular consultations, where monks enter trance states to provide guidance on significant matters affecting Tibetan Buddhism.
Visitors can reach the monastery by taking a short walk from Drepung Monastery, following signs through the agricultural landscapes of Doilungdêqên District.
The second floor houses a newly installed statue of Padmasambhava, marking the restoration efforts after the extensive damage during previous decades.
