Sacred temples to receive more pilgrims in winter

Sacred temples in Lhasa, the Jokhang Temple for instance, would receive more pilgrims in winter, when there is less farming. Rolling prayer wheels, practising prostrations, or simply chanting Buddhist mantras, the pilgrims have various ways to fulfill their lifetime religious pursuits.
