Erroneously referred to as 'Little Jokhang it stands in the northern older part of the holy city. it originally housed Wen Cheng's statue of Sakyamuni, now the Holy of Holies of Jokhang Monastery. In the 8th century an exchange was made and a Nepalese princess's small bronze statue of Sakyamuni aged eight was enshrined at Ramoche instead. The temple was gutted and partially destroyed in the 1960s and the bronze statue disappeared. Years later it was found and is now housed in the Ramoche Temple which was restored in the 1980s.
