„The temple of the Brom-ston lha-khan chen-po is the second largest in the enclave, the largest being the gTsug-lag-khan. The wall decorations here are dominated by two major themes: the medicine Buddhas (Bhaisajyagurus) and the life of Buddha. The latter theme also appeared earlier in the mandapa of the gTsug-lag-khan. Such scenes traditionally represent the twelve moments of the Buddha‘s life (mdzad-pa bcu-gnis). [...]
The rows of the full-blown flowers appearing on the ceiling were obviously copied from the ceiling of the gTsug-lag-khan. A pair of Nagas facing each other is one of the best examples of the early-seventeenth-century mural tradition of Spiti.“
