Чёёря-хурул, Buddhist temple in Iki-Chonos, Russia
The Chyorya Khurul temple features a two-story building with a three-tiered roof covered in golden tiles and traditional prayer wheels at its entrance.
The original Chyorya Khurul, constructed in 1903, housed up to 2000 worshippers and functioned as the residence of the Kalmyk people's Shadjin Lama from 1920.
The temple includes a Buddhist theological school called Tsannid Choira where monks study philosophy, conduct rituals, and maintain traditional religious practices.
The temple reopened in 2009 after extensive renovations initiated by local residents and Shadjin Lama Telo Tulku Rinpoche, making it accessible to visitors.
Prayer cylinders called kurde stand before the temple entrance, containing Buddhist mantras that practitioners rotate clockwise before entering the sacred space.
