Site status at the time of survey :
Today a holy hot water spring can be found in the area called Rashaant (‘The place with holy water’) which is on the left side of the road leading to Dar’ ekh and Dambadarjaa suburbs, on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar. The area is fenced-off with a wooden gate construction some metres away from the spring. A small bridge over the spring with a pavilion on it was built in 2004. Local people come here for the water. The exact site of the chapel is not known but presumably it stood near the spring (GPS was taken there).
