Guru Lhakhang is a single-storey chapel located to the southwest of the Leh Palace, overlooking a cluster of old residential buildings. Built to a rectangular plan, with stone foundations and 70cm thick mudbrick walls, it measures 9.25 by 8.80 meters (or, in Tibetan fashion, four pillars). The entrance faces east. The interior timber frame consists of four raised pillars, almost four meters high.
