The Streets of Dharamsala

The main square of Dharamsala
Here are some images of Dharamsala, India, a major Tibetan exile community, where the Dalai Lama lives.


The building centered in this picture is Mc'llo's, popular hang-out for Westerners


A shop catering to tourists




See the monkeys on the roof!





Monks and motor rickshaw in the main square




Outside the Dalai Lama's temple





The courtyard of the Dalai Lama's temple, after his talk. Notice the stray puppy in the center of the picture.



The veranda of the Dalai Lama's temple. The thing draped in yellow fabric is the Dalai Lama's throne, where he sits during his teachings.



Ordinary street scene



Back to the central square--you could never get tired of that lively place.

A Free Tibet demonstration was going on in the main square.


The big white building on the right, down below, is a monastery.
