Notes :
According to Luvsangiin Jamba (born 1927), who is the present abbot in Khüis monastery in the centre of Bayantsagaan sum, and had been a monk in Darigatiin Jas near this monastery, at a place called Övör Gurvan another Jas was situated, with a temple, but he did not know any details as he never visited it.
Informant Puntsogiin Badamochir, is living in the centre of Bayantsagaan. He was born in 1921 and had been a monk in Bambar Erdene Lamiin Khüree (in present Sergelen Sum). According to him, there was only one temple building in this Jas made of wood. There was a separate Gonkhon (Tib: mgon khang) for devotional objects, pictures of deities. He said only a Takhilch monk (offering preparer) resided in the Jas monastery, offering butter lamps etc. Monks from bigger monasteries in the area such as Choir, Bambar Erdenii Khüree came here in the summer to hold ceremonies. According to the informant, looking at the foundations on the site, the most westerly one was the temple itself. On the west there was a brook called Övör gurvan khudag. The mountain Öndör Kharaa Uul was on the east of the site. There was no stupa at the site.
