The Lhasa Great Mosque was built in 1716 and expanded in 1793, primarily by traders from Kashmir who settled in Lhasa. The infobox gives 1716 as original completion and 1959 as current build. The article names no architect, describes the traditional Zang architectural style without a citation, and gives no materials. It has a three-entrance sahn, with the prayer hall in the west, and an inner hall, open hall and main platform.
The site covers 28,000 square feet (2,600 m²), with 14,000 square feet (1,300 m²) built and a prayer hall of 3,070 square feet (285 m²). It has one dome and two minarets.
The article records that it was destroyed in the 1959 uprising and later rebuilt, then used as a committee office and agricultural cooperative site until 1978, when it was reinstated for worship. It was burned in the 2008 unrest. It is an active Sunni mosque.
