Tibetan monasteries don't use wax candles. Buddhists in the Himalayan region use lamps filled with clarified yak butter---"butter lamps"---as yaks have traditionally been integral to Tibetan culture and wax was not available. A monastery would have ornate metal lamp offering stands to contain the liquefied yak butter, rather than free-standing candles.
