Description of location :
GPS below taken in Seoul Street, near Natsagdorj library. Rinchen’s map does not mark this assembly separately but it contains a reference to it in the Yutawiin khural (UBR 920 Rinchen 920) entry. In this it says that Dagwa zodchiin khural was situated within the same fenced enclosure as Yutawiin khural. They were located in the south-west quarter (Baruun ömnöd khoroo) of the city, where laymen lived. The map location places it on the present Seoul Street between the State Drama Theatre and the Natsagdorj library, to the south of Nartad Daginiin khural (Damdin lamiin khural, UBR 916 Rinchen 916) and Dar’ ekhiin khural (UBR 917 Rinchen 917).However, according to Dashtseren, Dagwa zodchiin khural was in a different site being located near the present Lenin Club, south of Sükhbaatar Square, north of Choijin lamiin süm (UBR 915 Rinchen 915).

Site status at the time of survey :
There is contradictory evidence about the precise location of the assembly. According to Dashtseren lama, it was near the present day Lenin Club that is immediately south of Sükhbaatar Square, but, according to Rinchen’s map, this assembly was located on the present Seoul Street between the State Drama Theatre and Natsagdorj library. Today both these areas are built over so it is for certain that there are no remains of the assembly wherever it was situated.
