Ivolginsky Datsan, Buddhist monastery in Verkhnyaya Ivolga, Russia
The complex contains several wooden temples, educational buildings, libraries, and gathering spaces spread across the grounds near the Ivolga River.
The monastery, founded in 1945 after World War II, marks the revival of Buddhism in Russia following the religious persecution during the Soviet era.
The datsan serves as an educational center with a faculty of Buddhist philosophy, teaching traditional Tibetan medicine and maintaining extensive collections of Buddhist texts.
The monastery provides guided tours, hosts regular ceremonies, and offers traditional vegetarian meals in the dining facilities for visitors throughout the year.
The monastery houses the preserved body of Dashi-Dorzho Itigelov, a Buddhist leader who died in 1927 and remains in a remarkable state of preservation.
