Notes :
According to the book of Danzangiin Mangaa (Senjit Khadnii duun, published in 2000) relay stations were situated near Ongiin ovoo and Ünegt. Maidar also marks the monastery as örtöö süm i.e. relay station temple. An old man called Bandi is living in the sum who belonged to Ongiin khural before the purges. People gave instructions for this monks dwelling, but he moved some days ago and the surveyors couldn’t find him anywhere. Thus, there is no information about the monastery, as the local people couldn’t serve data on the monastery. As the traces show, the monastery was situated very close to the river. There was a fenced-off main assembly hall and many courtyards, where buildings (dwellings) and maybe yurts were situated. Stupas could be in front of and behind the complex. Traces of litter are visible southeast of the complex. On the south-east traces of burning are visible.
