Due south of the monastery is a worshiped owoo named Children’s Owoo. During 1951 – 1952, a head of Gandan Monastery - Tserenpil came along with 51 cars to collect a 60 cm tall brassy Manal vajrasattva. The vajrasattva was found on the reclaimed site of Dersen Usnii Monastery and until it was collected by Tserenpil and taken away to Ganden Monastery, the vajrassatva had been kept by Ailtgui.
