The Kingdom of Powo or sPo bo (;) was a kingdom founded in the 13th century, located in present-day Bomê County, Tibet. The monarchs of Powo were descendants of Drigum Tsenpo, and used the title Kanam Gyalpo (kaH gnam rgyal po) or Kanam Depa (kaH gnam sde pa).[1]
The kingdom was annexed by Qing China in 1910, but the King restored it the next year. In 1928, the kingdom was annexed by Tibet.[2]
