✨The Dhvaja

Tibet is an vast and thinly populated area, but where people lives, there will have temples. In the photo, there is a decoration on the roof, which is called "DHVAJA" in Sanskrit and "Choggi Gyaltshan" in Tibetan, symbolizing the victory of achieving the right result. It is one of the eight auspicious treasures of the Tibetan people. It means people can be overcome hostile snobbery and various unfavorable factors, so it placed on the roof of the temple.

✨胜利幢

西藏地区地广人稀，但有人居住的地方就会有寺庙。寺庙屋顶上有个装饰物叫胜利幢， 如图。梵语称胜利幢为“DHVAJA”，藏语音则是“Choggi Gyaltshan”，象征着修成正果的胜利，为藏族吉祥八宝之一。在世俗中可表示战胜敌对势利，克服各种不利因素，常安置于寺院屋顶。
