Part of the Orxon Valley Cultural Landscape World Heritage Site. Situated in Övörxangai aimag, 30 km southeast of Xarxorin sum.

Located on the west bank of the Saryn Gol, this Türkic-era statue (132 x 45 x 22 cm) is considerably eroded, with little more than its facial features still recognizable. The statue now lies on its back; according to local folklore, setting the statue upright would anger the sky and bring stormy weather. [1]

In commemoration of the legacy and teachings of
His Holiness Dulduit Danzanravzhaa
Fifth Wrathful Noble Xutagt of the Great Gobi (1803-1856)

I did not overbearingly sophize
Nor preach with pride and arrogance
But having found a sense in this world
Spoke the truth of my dear heart.
