Aninsky datsan, Buddhist temple in Alan, Russia.
The Aninsky datsan stands near Lake Baikal with white walls, golden roofs, and traditional Buddhist architectural elements reflecting Tibetan and Mongolian influences.
Established during the expansion of Buddhism in Siberia, the Aninsky datsan functioned as a center for religious education until the 1930s closure period.
The temple functions as an educational institution where students learn Buddhist philosophy, medicine, and traditional practices according to the Gelug school teachings.
The temple opens daily from sunrise to sunset, allowing visitors to observe prayer ceremonies, meditation sessions, and receive guidance from resident monks.
Prayer wheels containing thousands of written mantras line the interior halls, creating rhythmic sounds as practitioners rotate them during meditation walks.
