Day 6 - Lhasa - in front of the Jokhang Temple

I followed the pilgrim's path around to the front of the Jokhang Temple where many of the pilgrims had stopped to prayer. Most of prayers were prostrating themselves towards the temple. In this picture, you can see many of the implements they use to make prostrating a little more comfortable such as prayer mats to lower themselves onto and hand pads they strap on so that it's not their bare palms gliding across the ground. Funny thing of note: the two monks are walking completely in synch. They both have their back leg raised to the same level so that it looks like they're standing on one leg.
