Read moreThis temple was the largest in the city until the inauguration of the "golden hut of the Buddha Sakyamuni". It is located 7 km from the centre, but can be reached by minibus. A little deserted since the construction of the new temple, it is nevertheless very pleasant by its situation in the steppe. It is not uncommon to find it alone, which some Kalmouks enjoy to focus on their prayers and thoughts.
