'''Lukhang''' (Tib. klu khang, residence of [[naga people|Naga]]s), formally '''Zongdag Lukhang''' (Tib. rdzong bdag klu khang <nowiki>[?]</nowiki>, residence of [[naga people|Naga]]s, lords of the castle and administered territory <nowiki>[?]</nowiki>) is the name of a secret temple of [[Lozang Gyatso, 5th Dalai Lama]]. Three walls of the temple are covered with [[murals]] of [[yogis]] engaged in their exercises.

* One wall of [[mural]]s illustrates a commentary by [[Longchenpa]] on a [[Dzogchen]] tantra ''[[Rigpa Rangshar]]'', interpreted according to the 5th Dalai Lama's experience of practice. The murals show characteristic visions of the secret practice of [[tögal]].
* Another wall shows eight manifestations of [[Guru]] [[Padmasambhava]] and eighty four main [[Mahasiddha]]s.
* The third wall illustrates positions and movements of [[Yantra Yoga]].

The temple is situated on a small island on a lake behind the [[Potala]] palace in [[Lhasa]].
