Дацан Ринпоче Багша, Buddhist temple complex on Lysaya Mountain in Ulan-Ude, Russia
Datssan Rinpoche Bagsha is a Buddhist temple complex situated on a mountain in Ulan-Ude, featuring a large bronze Buddha statue covered in gold leaf. The site contains multiple buildings and structures used for Buddhist rituals and ceremonies.
The complex was founded in the early 2000s with support from prominent Buddhist leaders. It expanded in subsequent years with the addition of multiple religious structures and ceremonial elements.
The site serves as a gathering place where followers come to meditate and participate in prayer ceremonies throughout the year. The stupas and gilded figure shape the community's spiritual practice and daily observances.
The best time to visit is during clear weather when the views from the mountain are visible. Sturdy footwear is recommended since the path can be steep, and visitors should wear respectful clothing.
The complex features a large bronze bell used for Buddhist ceremonies, which is a rare religious component of the site. This bell contributes to the sounds visitors hear while exploring the grounds.
