Birds on Lower Windows of Songtsen Library
Thanks India Addict… for providing the photos of the birds of Songtsen Library.
I was told that the birds mistook the sky reflected in glass of the Library and mess hall windows and flew right into them. That accounts for the many bumps you see on the head of the birds around Dehra Dun.
A kind lady (was she German?) sponsored for the stick on silhouettes of the birds on the glass so that the birds will not continue getting more bumps. Seemed it worked.
The first picture is of the mess hall, the second of the vintage Mercedes once used by HH The Dalai Lama, the third inside the audience room of HH Chetsang Rinpoche where the very regal Chetsang Holiness poses with visitors. Second from right is the Ven Chen Chung who is in retreat now.
I have also taken the liberty of including two more pictures, taken one cold chilly night, of the library and King Songtsen Gampo on his horse. Last year, there was some maintenance work done on the base and it should be ok now. Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did the library.
