Paintings of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, the Kagyu lineage, the Genduk Chogngi (Shakyamuni Buddha and the eight greatest scholars of Buddhist India: Nagarjuna, Aryadeva, Asanga, Vasubandhu, Dignaga, Dharmakirti, Gunaprabha, and Sakyaprabha), and the Sixteen Arhats (the saints to whom Buddha Shakyamuni entrusted his doctrine) cover the walls of the monastery. The entrance of the main temple has murals which have been painted with rich colours in the traditional Tibetan monastic painting style.

There is a painting of the Hindu God, Lord Ganesh, which is inside the monastery. It is said that His Holiness the Sixteenth Gyalwa Karmapa had a vision of the elephant headed Hindu deity assisting in the construction of the monastery.
