Talk:Alchi Monastery

Two pictures are not Alchi monastery and should be changed
I'm sorry, I don't know how to upload pictures on Wikipedia. Currently, the first picture on the page, Alchi.jpg by Steve Hicks, is not Alchi monastery; it is some other building near the entrance of the village of Alchi. Unfortunately this shabby modern structure with a foreground full of debris is the thumbnail that shows up when the Alchi page is linked to. Further down the page, the photo Alchi03.jpg is of a private house inside the monastery grounds, and is not a part of the monastery. BeckyLadakh (talk) 19:26, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 1 one external link on Alchi Monastery. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
 * Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.univie.ac.at/ITBA/pages/sites/Alchi/gSumTseg.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).

Cheers.—cyberbot II  Talk to my owner :Online 08:31, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Tara or Avalokiteshvara?


The caption of the first photo in the section "Structures", showed on the left — "An image of Tara in Manjushri" — contradicts what is written in the description of the Sumtseg. As far as I can remember, when I wrote the Portuguese Wikipedia article on the monastery, I have checked the sources and I don't remember any of them mentioning a statue of Tara and all mention Avalokiteśvara (ex: ). Considering that the feminine representation of Avalokiteśvara may be Tara, perhaps saying that the statue is of Tara isn't wrong, but that isn't apparent to the readers, at least to the vast majority of them who don't know a lot about Tibetan art.

The "in Manjushri" is also confusing, because Manjushri is represented in another statue that stands on the other side of the Sumtseg.

I wonder if  and  and have any thing to say about this. --pt:Stegop talk 20:29, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
