- Purang-Guge_Kingdom abstract "Purang-Guge kingdom was a small Western Himalayan kingdom which was founded and flourished in the 10th century. It covered parts of remote western Tibet and northern Ladakh.The original capital was at Burang (Tibetan: Purang), but was moved to Tholing (also spelled Toling) in the Langchen Tsangpo (Sutlej River) canyon, southwest of Mount Kailash. It was divided into smaller kingdoms around the year 1100 AD. Tholing, at 12,400 feet (3,800 m), the last town before Tsaparang in Guge Kingdom was then its capital, (163 miles from Darchen). It was founded by the great grand son of Langdarma who was assassinated, which led to the collapse of the Tibetan Royal Dynasty. Buddhist monuments at both Tsaparang and Tholing are now mostly in ruins except for a few statues and scores of murals in good condition, painted in the western Tibetan style.While Langdarma persecuted Buddhism in Tibet, his grandson, King Yeshe-Ö, who ruled the Guge Kingdom in the 10th century with Tholing as its capital (shifted from Tsaparang) was responsible for the second revival or "second diffusion" of Buddhism in Tibet; the reign of the Guge Kingdom was known more for the revival of Buddhism than for its conquests. He built the Tholing Monastery in his capital city in the 997 AD along with two other temples built around the same time, the Tabo Monastery in Spiti valley in northern India and the Khochar Monastery (south of Purang); both these monasteries are functional.".
