The original temple complex was built in the 1650s. Zanabazar came here to meditate and do his artwork. Many of his famous statues, including the White Tara now in the Zanabazar Museum in Ulaan Baatar, were probably done here. The temple complex was largely destroyed by the communists during the 1930s but has been recently renovated. Two monks live here year-round. |

On a sloping rock shelf near the temples is what purports to be Zanabazar's footprint impressed in stone. He appeared to have about a size 12 foot. |
