Amarbayasgalant Monastery is Mongolia's second most important Buddhist shrine, located in the Iven Gol River valley in Selenge province just north of Ulaan Bataar. It was built during the Manchu Empire in the 18th century and is dedicated to Undur Gegeen Zanabazar, the great Mongolian Buddhist and sculptor. It escaped the Communist purges of the 1930s and is still a working monastery today.
