Sights to see 26.08.2019
Datsan is located in the Buryatia Republic, 36 km from Ulan-Ude and was founded in 1945.
Ivolginsky Datsan became the first existing Buddhist temple after many years of the ban on religious Buddhist rituals, now it is also a monument of history and architecture, and a museum.
Ivolginsky datsan consists of ten temples, five stupas-suburgans and houses of monks. On its territory is kept one of the main Buddhist shrines - the imperishable body of Lama Itigelov.
Ivolginsky Datsan deserves attention, because it is strongly out of the range of typical Russian sights. It is worth a visit, even if you are not religious. You can admire the Chinese-Tibetan architecture and learn more about Buddhist culture.
