DELGIRIIN CHOIR KHIID
One of many monasteries destroyed in the purges of the 1930s, the Delgeriin Choiriin Khiid is in
the process of being rebuilt and sequestered. In the central ger, known as the Majestic White Shining
Palace, Luvsan Darjaa, a lama said to be the reincarnation of famous Mongolian scholar Zava Damdin,
dominates the shrine, while real life seamstresses sew silk tapestries around him. Five hundred monks
once called this monastery home. Today, just a dozen or so live here.
