Eej Khad (Mother Rock)


Eej Khad, or "Mother Rock," is a majestic natural wonder nestled in the heart of Mongolia. This enigmatic rock formation carries deep cultural and spiritual significance for the Mongolian people, serving as a symbol of maternal protection and nurturing. The site is often visited by locals and travelers alike who seek to experience its tranquil aura and connect with the rich heritage it embodies. The surrounding landscape, characterized by sweeping steppes and vast skies, only enhances the profound sense of serenity and awe that the Mother Rock evokes.

Exploring Eej Khad offers a unique glimpse into Mongolia's rich tapestry of folklore and tradition. Legend has it that the rock was formed by the tears of a grieving mother, solidifying into a timeless guardian of the land. This sense of myth and mystery pervades the atmosphere, encouraging visitors to reflect upon the stories imprinted in the very stones beneath their feet. Whether you are drawn by the legends or the landscape, Eej Khad promises an unforgettable journey into the heart of Mongolia's natural and cultural marvels.
 

Near the village of Khoshigiin Ar in the sum (district) of Sergelen, 15km South of Zuunmod, is the sacred lock known as Eej Khad, or Mother Rock. Mongolians often come here to seek solace and advice, and make offerings of vodka, milk and silk scarves called khatag. Pilgrims ask for three wishes to be granted, circle the rock three times and make three separate visits. The earth around the rock is sacred, so any rubbish that is dropped cannot be picked up; unfortunately, the area is now extremely dirty, with rubbish and broken bottles laying everywhere.

There are several other sites which are thought to generate good luck. One is Dog Rock, which Mongolians rub their body against to cure ailments. The other, a few kilometers North of Mother Rock, is called Rich Rock and locals touch their wallet to it to ensure financial security.
