The main painting on the back wall of the Chapel of the Prefect shows Shakyamuni flanked by Tsongkhapa on the left and Atisha on the right, both wearing the typical Gelugpa headdresses. Here is the painting of Atisha showing its initial state and after it has been cleaned. Atisha (982-1054 AD) was a great Indian Buddhist Master who came to Tibet 1042 and revived the teachings of Buddhism and purified them from misunderstandings.
