On the fourth floor, at the top of the building, on the eastern end above the Dorying Lhakhang, stood a Guru Chapel (Lama Lhakhang) with sixteen pillars, including four long pillars. Within, there formerly stood the reliquary stupa (gdung rten) of Kunga Namgyal. There was also a circumambulation place or path (skor sa) outside the chapel that enshrined the clay sculptures of the Lamdre guru lineage. Figure 4.42 is an outside view of the Guru Chapel, the taller structure to the rear.
