Winter Amarbayasgalant The complex of Amarbayasgalant Monastery was built during 1727-1736, in the honour of Undur Gegeen Zanabazar, the first Bogd, Buddhist leader of Mongolia. Amarbayasgalant Monastery is located far from the densely populated areas and purposed for conducting religious services and rituals in response to religious and spiritual demands of local herdsmen. Since its establishment, the Amarbayasgalant Monastery has always been a place of high religious and spiritual significance for nomadic herders who are living within and around of this sacred landscape.
