Religious shrine in Huvsgul Aimag, Mongolia. The ovoo is the Mongolian shaman shrine. They are made from sticks piled up, with stones, animal skulls and blue Buddhist prayer ribbons scattered across. You pass maybe one or two a day, and the tradition is to walk around it clockwise three times, throwing three stones onto it for good luck. |
