Notes :
Old local people were asked about the monastery. Gendlen ovoo, made of stone is widely known by people.
A1 According to D.Choijoo, 77 year old man who lives nearby, the site of the monastery was situated about 40-50 meters east of the ovoo. He told us that maybe only one temple stood in this site. Later there were private dwellings and an agricultural cooperation worked there. This was was pulled down. Only a wooden shelter for animals is still visible west of the site.
B1 According to the Ts.Sansokhor 77 years old lady, who lives nearby the monastic site, some buildings still stood on the site when she was about 20 years old. The monastery could be considered of some temples and about 30 monks lived or gathered there. There were permanent ceremonies and the ovoo standing there is old, too. It was completely ruined during the purges with the sacred inner parts (Sunshig). Later an agricultural cooperation (Negdel) operated at the site. Perhaps they used the building of old jas or its building materials.
