Khamar Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Dornogovi Province, Mongolia.
Khamar Monastery contains four main sections including East Khuree, West Khuree, Tsokhon, and Duinkher, with meditation caves located in the northern area.
Founded in 1820 by Danzanravjaa, the monastery operated as a Buddhist center until 1937 when it was destroyed during Mongolia's religious purge, then rebuilt in 1990.
The monastery established Mongolia's first professional theater, the Namtar Duulakh Datsan, which managed 300 artists performing throughout the Gobi region.
Located 47 kilometers south of Sainshand, the monastery includes meditation caves where Buddhist practitioners conduct 108-day retreats following traditional practices.
The monastery housed a school for children, the Khuukhdiin Datsan, teaching Mongolian literature, Tibetan language, mathematics, natural science, and history.
