The DalaiLama is often thought to be the head of the Gelug, but this position officially belongs to the Ganden Tripa (Holder of the Throne of Ganden, the first monastery established by Lama Je Tsong Khapa, founder of the Gelug).
The DalaiLama is still recognized as the head of the Tibetan government in exile, except by supporters of Chinese communism.
Until the 14th DalaiLama's exile in 1959, the DalaiLamas resided in Lhasa in the Potala Palace during winter and in the Norbulingka residence during summer.
