Another souvenir that should be on the shopping list is the splendid Tibetan tankas which are Buddhist paintings. It is a part of Tibetan history and can be seen hanging from walls, often beautifully intricate and bold in color.
The Barkhor Market area, a ring-shaped street around Jokhang Monstery which served as both a passage way for praying and is the most colorful and cheapest place to purchase local souvenirs, items from traditional turquoise jewlery, clothing, meditation beads, prayer wheels to white and colored prayer scarves (taras).
