Lonely Planet review for Four Guardian Kings

Just inside the entrance to the Jokhang are statues of the Four Guardian Kings, two on either side. Beyond this is the main assembly hall or dukhang, a paved courtyard that is open to the elements. During festivals the hall is often the focus of ceremonies. The throne on the left wall was formerly used by the Dalai Lamas. You'll see a line of pilgrims filing past the main Jokhang entrance as they walk the pilgrim circuit around the temple.
