ERDENE ZUU SUBURGAN - MONGOLIA
In the compound of the Erdene Zuu there is a big suburgan ( or stupa ) .
The main stupa which is called the Golden Prayer Stupa stands in the northern sector.
The stupa built in 1799, along with a small building next to it, which is supposed
to have been the first temple built here.
The Mongolian stupas are built in the Tibetan style with a ''sentei'' ,
a spire consisting of 13 rings representing Buddhist doctrines and the moon and the sun.
