Site status at the time of survey :
According to Dashtseren lama, Güngaadejidlin or Tsagaan süm was a palace more than a temple as lamas did not reside there permanently. According to Pürew (Mongoliin uls töriin töw, p. 59.), this building was used as the summer residence of the 6th, 7th and 8th jewtsündamba khutagts. There are no remains today. O. Pürew informed us of the exact site of the old temple, which is outside the walls of the Central Electricity Plant to the south-west. However on Rinchen’s map, compiled by Pürew himself, it is marked inside the wall of the plant, but this only means some some ten meters difference.
