Panoramas of Sera Monastery in Tibet
At the Juncture of Four Major Buildings Complexes
(See map below for location and link to interactive map)
This panorama gives you a sense of the exterior of four major compounds at Sera. The initial shot, directly in front, is of the front façade of the Mé College temple (smad 'du khang = s044), with the western wall of the Meru Apartment Compound to the right (me ru spyi khang = s035). As you pan to the right, you see the front (southern) façade of the Meru compound. Beyond it in the distance, behind the row of mani-wheels, is the western wall of the Zhungpa Regional House (zhung pa khang tshan = s001). Continuing to the right, the yellow structure you come to is the northern wall of the Tsemönling Lama’s Residence (tshe smon gling bla brang = s002). Continuing to pan right, one comes to the long eastern wall of the Chétsa Regional House (byes tsha khang tshan = s003). Instructions: Click on the panorama and, holding down your mouse, move it ("pan") to the left or right. You will see that the image moves in the direction you have selected. You can also zoom in and out using the +/- controls at the bottom of each panorama or the Shift/Ctrl keys on your computer keyboard. If you have zoomed in, you can also make the image move up or down to a certain extent. |
