Historical Figures of Tibet Princess Wencheng is often portrayed in sculptures or paintings and is worshipped by Tibetans as the avatar of Tara. She was originally a princess of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and later married Songtsen Gampo (617-650), a great king of the then Tubo Kingdom of Tibet. The princess was a devout Buddhist. She brought the statue of the 12-year-old Sakyamuni (now in Jokhang Temple ), the calendar, medicine and other things from central China into Tibet, and also advised the king to build many palaces and monasteries. These made the kingdom more prosperous, and Buddhism became the dominant religion. Other Tibetan historical figures, such as Songtsen Gampo, King Trisong Detsen (742-798), Princess Jincheng (another princess of the Tang Dynasty), and Dalai Lamas and Panchen Lamas, also often appear in sculptures or paintings.
