As far as I can remember statue of Grandpa and Granny was on the way to Tengis movie Theater. But on the contrary this statue has been moved several times of its original location. The statue was created in 1983 by R.Enkhtaivan.
First location of them was in front of the State Department Store at the Tserendorj Street. Next it was located in front of the 5th secondary school and the final location is the current one the middle of Sambuu Street green zone. The creator of the statue R.Enkhtaivan had in mind the kids playing at the statue, as if playing at their grandparents' place.
Unfortunately, the initial purpose of the author has been abandoned as the statue currently is located between the roads at the place where no one would notice without proper look. The initial statue was made with no definite face with no eyes or nose for the purpose of being familiar with every kids grandparents.
If there were definite facial features it could have been reminding someone. In May 2015 according to the initiation of the Chingeltei District Civil Representative Council the new statue of Grandpa and Granny has been installed.
