The Nova Lost Treasures Of Tibet DVD had already told me about the restoration of the abandoned Thubchen gompa and its paintings. British architect John Sanday led the restoration of the Gompa roof in the traditional way with wood, flat stones and mud. Art conservator Rodolfo Lujan from Rome led the restoration of the paintings using the same techniques as the Sistine Chapel. Buddha’s face glows with the restored red, green and blue colours on the left wall before the assembly hall entrance door at Thubchen Gompa in Lo Manthang.
