The temple of the protectors of the three families in the northern part of Lhasa. The three heads of these families (rigs) are Mañjuśrī, Avalokiteśvara, and Vajrapāṇi. A temple dedicated to these three deities was established in each of the four cardinal directions of Lhasa during the imperial period. The temple in the north was originally north of Ramoché Temple, on the Lingkor, and was later relocated to the south and slightly east, near the Ramoché stone bridge (rdo zam). The temple is currently managed by Garu Nunnery.
