Ivolginsky Datsan Khambyn Khuree

One of the main datsans in Russia, attracting tourists and pilgrims from all over the world. Here, you will see the temple-palace, along with nine other beautiful Buddhist temples featuring unusual colorful roofs and walls, intricate carved elements, tall stone staircases, animal statues, a greenhouse for the sacred Bodhi tree, the "Erkhim Darkhan" art workshop, and an art gallery of the peoples of Asia. The datsan grounds are home to roe deer, which you can feed. Pilgrims come here to see the incorrupt body of the 12th Pandito Hambo Lama, Dashi-Dorzho Itigelov. It is believed that he helps those who ask for his assistance.
