Lhasa, Tibet - October 2006 The Jokhang Buddhist Temple is located in Barkhor Square in Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet. For most Tibetans, it is the most sacred and important temple in the country. At the centre of an ancient network of Buddhist temples in Lhasa, it is also the focal point of commercial activity in the city, with a maze of busy but narrow streets radiating from it. Prayer wheels like this adorn every major Tibetan Temple.
