Wikipedia tells us (abridged): “Tövkhön Monastery (Mongolian: Төвхөн хийд), one of Mongolia’s oldest Buddhist monasteries, is located in Övörkhangai Province about 47 km southwest of Kharkhorin.  The monastery was first established in 1648, by the then-14-year-old Zanabazar, the first Jebtsundamba Khutuktu and spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhism for the Khalkha in Outer Mongolia.  He determined that the location on the Shireet Ulaan Uul mountain, overlooking a hill at 2,600 meters above sea-level, was an auspicious location. The first physical structures were built upon his return from studying in Tibet in 1653. Zanabazar used the monastery, originally called Bayasgalant Aglag Oron (Happy Secluded Place), as his personal retreat over the course of 30 years.”  This is an unused Mongol Post card.  Grade: 1
