Huge, exquisite murals line all the walls of Potala Palace's halls. These wall paintings, stretching about 2,500 square meters, were drawn with gold, silver and mineral pigments made of crushed colorful diamonds and other precious stones. The content of the murals covers Tibetan history, culture and arts.
A large-scale relief fresco in the Potala Palace vividly depicts the scene of the Qing Emperor Shunzhi meeting the Fifth Dalai Lama at the Beijing court in 1652. During the meeting, the emperor conferred a seal and a title to the Fifth Dalai Lama.
