[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Amarbayasgalant Khiid is one of the few Buddhist Monasteries that survived relatively intact from the Russian communist purge of 1937, when hundreds of monks were killed & temples destroyed throughout Mongolia. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Buddhism has seen a resurgence in Mongolia.

"Khiid" is the Mongolian word for 'temple'.

"The overall style is Chinese, despite some Mongol and Tibetan influence. The plan is symmetrical and the main buildings succeed one another along a North-South axis, while the secondary buildings are laid out on parallel side axes."
