Photographer’s Note

At the Gandantegchinlen Khiid Monastery (Ulan Bataar), a colorful scene of nicely dressed monks and stupas.

A stupa (from Sanskrit and Pāli: m., स्तूप, stūpa, literally meaning "heap") is a mound-like structure containing Buddhist relics, typically the remains of a Buddha or saint. Tibetan buddhism has been imported in Mongolia in two waves during the 13th and 16th centuries and remains the main religion there.
