Palace of the 7th Dalai Lama

Can’t take pictures inside the building. There’s a throne inside, and there was a robe wrapped in a triangle manner placed on top of the throne. It symbolizes that the owner’s spirit.

The current 14th Dalai Lama, went into exile through this exit.

Also cannot take picture inside. This is the grandest of all summer palaces in Norbulingka. There are also items used by the 14th Dalai Lama kept inside here. There several rooms inside, his bedroom, meditation room, bathroom with bathtub and toilet bowl (looks quite modern) and also a throne with his robe on top of it.
