Part of the southern face of the Potala adorned with two appliquéd banners, Koku, (gos sku) for the Sertreng ceremony (tshogs mchod ser spreng) on the 30th day of the 2nd Tibetan month. The banners have images of the Buddha surrounded by deities and bodhisattvas. The Shol pillar can be seen in the foreground surrounded by onlookers watching the procession. Some monks holding hand held drums are processing. The Potala Palace was, until the 1959 Tibetan uprising, the chief residence of the Dalai Lama.
