The Story of the Preservation of the Tärä Images and Shrines of Taltakhin
Khurul Tashi Gomang Monastery. The history of Buddhism in Kalmykia means
also the history of Buddhist monasteries and temples (khuruls). In 1911, a wooden
khurul, Tashi Gomang was built. It was also known as Taltakhin Khurul, and was one
of the largest and most beautiful Ahurul. There were 17 monks in it: 7 fully-ordained
monks (Kalm. gelng), 5 novices (gec/) and 5 tea-preparers (mandzhik). The last monk
of the khurul was Legshid-bagsh. He left this world on the eve of the destruction of
the khurul. In 1933, during the period of mass repressions, the temple was closed,
demolished and looted, but two Taltakhin shrines — devoted to the White Tara and
the Green Tara — were saved thanks to Mukabenova Elzyat Papayevna. Later these
two shrines found themselves in the Lidzhiev family when she married. When the
Kalmyks were exiled to Siberia in 1943, Elzyat Papayevna took the images from
the shrines out, and then in 1957 brought these deities to her homeland. Being in
old age, she bequeathed her daughter-in-law, Alma Ubushievna, to keep and protect
the images, to give people the opportunity to worship and receive the blessings of
these deities. Alma Ubushievna kept her covenants strictly for more than a quarter
of a century until her death.
