Presently, a stupa can be seen from far, which was erected in 2005 or 2006 on the initiative of Tünvadoyod monk, who belongs to Lamrim datsan in Ulaanbaatar. The stupa contains a small statue of the Buddha. There are some stone and brick foundations, a foundation of a stupa, some temples etc.
According to the leaflet for the revived Gandanpuntsoglin monastery situated in Arvaikheer, Züün khural (‘Eastern assembly’) or Gandandashchoilin datsan (Tib. dga’ ldan bkra shis chos gling grwa tshang) was founded in 1776 on the bank of Ongiin gol river on a place, which was called Khar us (Black water). According to the local people Khar us source flowed on the east side of the new stupa, but dried out two years ago.
According to Zündüidamba (interview A21), who once belonged to Arvaikheeriin Khüree (ӨХАХ 041) about 10 temples were situated in the area of Züün khural, in Khar us.
According to Ganzayaa (interview A20), the lovon monk of Gandanpuntsoglin monastery, about 100 monks belonged to the complex. There were three or four places, which were subordinated to Arvaikheeriin khüree, such as this monastery, and also Baruun khural (Ulaan lamiin khiid (ӨХТРО 043)
or Khuitangiin khural (ӨХЗУ 036.) These monasteries were destroyed in 1937, according to Zündüidamba monk, who is the abbot of Gandanpuntsoglin monastery.
Interview with Tünvadoyod monk of Lamrim datsan, Ulaanbaatar
Tünvadoyod was born in 1921. He became a monk when he was 6 years old and was a monk in Züün khüree until 1938. When interviewed he was 86 years old.
He states that in Züün khüree, which was situated near Arvaikheer there were nine datsans: Tsogchin, Choir, Manal, Lamiin chodov, Dünshig, Janraiseg, Suvragiin datsan, Khailengiin, and Nügnei datsans. The complex was not fenced-off. The temple of the Medicine Buddha (Manal) was situated next to the main assembly hall (Tsogchin). The philosophical school (Choir) was on the South-West, the Lamiin Chodov temple was on the South-East and the Dünshig stood on the northeast. The complex was situated near Khongoriin gol River. The temple of Khailen stood behind the main assembly hall. Financial units (jas) belonged to each temple. The monks lived in fenced-off courtyards. There were some zoch masters: Öndör Dondov, Gemdei and Shirav. Women and women monks did not belong to the complex. Gavjiin damjaa exam was held in the philosophical monastic school, the school followed the manual book (igchaa) of Güngaachoilin (i.e. Vanchin igchaa). Maarambiin damjaa was not taken in the monastery and Tsam was not performed. Sor was burnt on the 29th of the last winter month, as it is usual. Kanjur was circumambulated on the 8th of the first summer month. Maitreya was circumambulated on the 15th of the middle winter month. Khailen was held in the autumn.
Tünvadoyod monk became a layman in 1938 and spent 2 years in the army. Then he was in the countryside. He came to Lamrim datsan in 1993. Apart of him, other monks are still alive, such as Zündüidamba, Samdan and Puntsognamjil. He has heard about Baruun khural or Ulaan lamiin khural, which is in Tuya bag of Taragt sum.
