Notes :
According to Maidar’s book (p. 72.), Tsagaan suwragiin khural was one of the assemblies in Ulaanbaatar though he does not give any information about its location. The name refers to the huge white Jaranhashar (Tib. bya-rung kha-shor) stupa, which was located to the north-east of Gandan. The painting by Jügder and the painting of an unknown painter in the Ulaanbaatar City Museum show this. According to Gonchig lama, 3-4 lamas held ceremonies regularly in the treasure-vase hall (bumb, Tib. bum-pa) of this stupa, and this was called the Tsagaan suwragiin khural.
Jaranhashar stupa was built in the style of a special type of stupa, typified by the bya-rung kha-shor stupa of Nepal, Kathmandu. This has painted eyes on its middle part above the treasure-vase and under the dharma wheels part.
