Kalchakra Temple, Dharamshala

Introduction

Situated next to the Tsuglagkhang Temple, the Kalachakra Temple is open to the public as the center for pilgrimage. Because of its murals and architecture, it also serves as a representation of Tibet’s rich spiritual and artistic ethnicity. The Dalai Lama uses this temple as the center for public teaching.

The centre of the main Northern mural is a large painting of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni surrounded by all 722 deities of the Mandala. On either side of this host of deities are the images of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and the lineage Gurus. At the centre of the Eastern wall is the portrayal of the Mind Mandala of Kalachakra. To the left of the Tsuglagkhang  is the temple with very good Dharma  and Buddhist  masters  of different  lineages  of Tibetan  Buddhism with the central image of Sakyamuni. Sand mandalas are constructed throughout the year, accompanied by ceremonies. The temple is very important, as the practice of Kalachakra Tantra is instrumental in  bringing about world peace and harmony.
