Ovoo 1 near Shaamar
Ovoo 2 near Shaamar

An ovoo that was called "mother's tree" in the vicinity of a village of Shaamar, Selenge Province, Mongolia (photographed on 25 July 2005).

(A) Unlike general ovoos, visitors can worship an ovoo of mother's tree by "car," circling around an area that was surrounded with clothes and piles three times clockwise. A backyard of this ovoo was widespread, including other ovoos, and the whole body was established as a park.

(B) This ovoo did not contain any wooden poles. Instead, a great number of blue clothes were tied to live trees.
