Zolotye vorota, Buddhist gates in Elista, Russia.
The Zolotye Vorota stands at the entrance of Elista, featuring modern architectural elements combined with traditional Buddhist design patterns and decorative motifs.

The monument connects to the city center through regular public transportation routes and includes surrounding gardens with dedicated walking paths for visitors.
