Holy wall
Erdene Zuu Monastery
by Rob Oo

Erdene Zuu Monastery, near Kharkhorin and adjacent to the ancient city of Karakorum, part of the Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape World Heritage Site, Mongolia.

Planners attempted to create a surrounding wall that resembled a Tibetan Buddhist rosary featuring 108 stupas (108 being a sacred number in Buddhism), but this objective was probably never achieved.
