MORNING PRAYER
In lamaist Shankh monastery
near Khar Khorin monks perform
their morning prayer ceremony.
According to archaeologist
Hans-Georg Hüttel, presently
excavating the palace of
Karakorum which was built by
Gengis Khan’s son Ugedei, the
monastery is ‘Ugedei’s palace in
miniature’ and gives a vivid
impression of what it might have
looked like.
