The Ikh Burkhant site stands on the western bank of the Khalkh River, 35 kilometers north of Khalkh sum, in Dornod province at the far eastern edge of Mongolie.

Here you'll discover several statues of Buddhist deities, most notably the colossal Janraïseg—"Avalokitesvara" in Sanskrit—carved directly into the hillside with legs spread wide. The sculpture was commissioned in 1859 by local regent Bat-Ochiriin Togtokhtör, also known as Tovan (Van meaning lord), erected in 1864, and restored between 1995 and 1997.

Tovan and his companions, Buddhist monks, erected the Janraïseg statue—a protective deity—horizontally on the western bank of the Khalkh River to symbolize guardianship over the eastern border and safeguard the nation. The site's construction was made possible through donations from the local people and lamas. The statue stretches 30 meters in length and was carved 1 to 3 meters deep into the rock face. It was built from stones transported by 1,000 oxen-drawn carts and required the labor of 180 artisans. Surrounding the main figure, 12 stupas were also erected, along with 20 smaller statues of fierce protective deities guarding prayer mills. Scattered across the ground lie fragmentary stone faces of mysterious character and a stone couple locked in an eternal embrace.
