Mongolia | Töv Aimag | Aryaval Temple


Wandered out to Aryaval Temple near Terelj with Ulaan Baatar fixture with my Business Partner Saraa.

Janraisig and Buddha statues in the main temple



Gallery on the first floor of the temple. Over 200 drawings depict various lessons from the Lam Rim teachings.

For some reason the vegetation at Aryaval is much more further advanced than on Bogd Khan Uul near my hovel. Here is a visitor to Aryaval communicating with a wild flower. For more information see The Lost Language of Plants.

Looking down the valley from the front of Aryaval Temple. This photo was taken in mid-summer, last year.
