Notes :
Interview with Luvsangiin Damba, born in 1927, had been a monk in Darigatiin jas. Currently he is a monk in Zogsoodiin Khüis temple in the centre of Bayantsagaan sum. According to him, Darigatiin jas had about ten monks and additionally about 3-4 young novices. There was only one temple building. There was no stupa. It had only one jas unit. The temple was made of wood but was a yurt shaped one. It was situated in a place called Burkhant. The ovoo called Mandal ovoo was situated on the west of the site, and it was worshipped by the monks. The well of the monks was on the west, too, and was called Khökh khoshuu khudag. The two Maikhan uul mountains were situated on the south, being called Züün (eastern) and Baruun (western) Maikhan uul. The abbot was called Magsar. The informant was not sure about who was the main protector deity of the monastery, but another monk in Bayantsagaan, called D. Serjmetog who was present during the interview, said the main deities were Gombo Makhgal. There were permanent ceremonies there, with everyday chanting. The informant did not know details on the various monthly or yearly ceremonies. He became a monk at his age of 6-7 and was there for four years as the monastery was closed in 1937 or 1938. There was one chanting master and one disciplinary master in the monastery. Monks form other monasteries did not visit the monastery.
