The Ivolginsk datsan, or buddhist temple. Buryatia is largely buddhist (like neighbouring Mongolia),
and Ivolginsk is the largest centre of this religion in the russian territory. The complex is
interesting more for its colors than for its architecture, but inside the temples (sorry, no
photos allowed) there are some beautifil statues. Try to visit it with a local to learn the
interesting story of this temple.
