The Potala Palace, in its initial 7th-century incarnation under King Songtsen Gampo, served as a pivotal symbol of the nascent Tibetan Empire's unification and its burgeoning cultural synthesis. This original structure, known as the Potrang Karpo, was strategically built to house the king and his foreign consorts, Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal and Princess Wencheng of China, thereby embodying the diplomatic and cultural exchanges that shaped early Tibetan civilization. However, this early palace suffered significant destruction during the decline of the Tubo Empire in the 9th century, largely due to internal strife and warfare, leaving much of its grandeur in ruins for centuries. The monumental reconstruction initiated by the 5th Dalai Lama, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, in 1645, marked a profound historical turning point. This ambitious project not only resurrected the palace but also solidified the Gelug school's temporal and spiritual authority, establishing the Ganden Phodrang government that would rule Tibet for over three centuries. The White Palace became the administrative heart, while the Red Palace, completed posthumously, was consecrated as the sacred repository for the reliquary stupas of the Dalai Lamas, most notably the magnificent golden stupa of the 5th Dalai Lama, thereby enshrining the lineage's spiritual continuity and historical legacy.
