The flooded Buddhist chapel

This Buddhist chapel of the 13th century is carved in a rock on the left bank of the Chaa-Khol River, not far from the village of Urbjun, at an altitude of 4 meters from the foot of Sumy Mountain. In the background, the bas-relief image of Buddha and his two impersonal pupils is cut down, the silhouettes of the two guards are visible on the left and on the right. The chapel is flooded with Sayano-Shushensky reservoir, but during the lowering of the water level the niche becomes visible.

Monastery Ustuuhuree

Ustuu-Huree is one of the largest temple complexes located on the territory of Daa kozhuuna, which included more than half of the territory of Tuva and is considered the cradle of statehood. The monastery was one of the richest in the whole region. Tsokchin - the main temple - was built in 1905-1907, similar to it was not only in Tyva, but also in the whole of Russia. In 1930, on the adoption of a special resolution, the Khuree was closed, and in 1937 - destroyed.

Shaman practices

Kezhege - lost pigtail

The valley of the Tes river in Erzinsky district is the main habitat of Tuvans from the Soyan tribe. On the right bank of the river there is a sacred tribal mountain - Kezhege. The shamans consider it their main protector. Literally "kezhege" is translated as "man's pigtail", exactly such men wore in the last century. According to legend, many centuries ago the place was cursed by a "black" shaman, and anyone who dares to kill an animal, a bird, break a twig or think evil, is threatened with death.

It's a tradition, when a hunter who got a fox here, dropped a pigtail (kezhege), and soon he went to another world.

The mountain itself has a unique ring shape, inside which runs a small stream. Inside the ring are several stone altars with porcelain figurines and other objects of Buddhist worship. In addition, Kezhege's unique feature is that she has an entrance. In the mountain there are several labyrinths leading to the caves. Here you can make a wish, write it on a piece of paper and leave it between the rocks. After passing through the maze-cave, you can climb to the top of Kezhege.

Shamanism in Kyzyl

Mount Hyyrikan

Hayyrakan is a sacred mountain, which is 105 km from Kyzyl, on the left bank of Ulug-Khem. This word, borrowed from Tuvan from the Mongolian language, means "heavenly bear" or "sacred mountain".

The old timers will tell the full mystics of the legend about Hayyrakan. For example, about the place seen by the Dalai Lama in a dream and chosen by him for the altar - it turned out that it was here that the ancient elder was buried, which gave rise to the Uryanghai. According to legend, this place has a special mystical power and ability to heal. Here the Tuvans apply to the Buddha and take away from the heart a handful of holy land.

This mountain was consecrated during his visit to Tuva on September 21, 1992 by His Holiness the Dalai Lama XIV, as evidenced by a small chapel at the highway.
