Statues of UB #7: Lion monument

There is interesting set of monument in Bayanzurkh district, which welcomes the visitors to UB city from the Eastern aimags and consists of two dogs and a lion. Some people would confuse all those three being dogs, therefore we are delivering the new section of the Statues of UB with more informaiton and background behind of this set of the monument. 

Honestly, I was among those as well. Every time I pass the monument I was thinking: "What a huge monument of dogs," never ever noticing that the middle elevated one was a lion.

The lion depicts the steed of Rich Namsrai, a deity of Bayanzurkh mountain. The lion stands on guard of the blue sky, mother earth and pristine waters and is the guardian of the prosperity and health of the people, resting on a lotus flower facing the east, the rising sun.

29 stairs lead to the pedestal of a lion symbolizing the eternal development and prosperity and is done with the pearl white marble. The dogs on the sides depict the loyal guardians of the household heart, fireplace, Asar and Basar.

The location of the monument has the omen as well as it stands on the intersection of Peace Avenue, Narnii Road and Urgakh Naran Road, symbolizing the intersection of the past, present and future.
