Buddhist Monasteries

Maharaja Süm

Maharaja Süm, the main temple of the Choijin Lama Temple museum in the heart of Ulaanbaatar. Built between 1904 and 1908, Choijin Lama Temple was originally occupied by Choijin Lama Luvsankhaidav. This monk was a brother to the ruler Bogd Khan, who rose to power following Mongolian independence from China. In the 1930's as Mongolia came under the influence of Communism, Buddhist temples were closed and Choijin Lama Temple was established as a museum.
