Anna Tsendina Damdinova, daughter of the renowned scholar Ts.Damdinsuren, has donated a rare statue of Lham Norjunma to the Chinggis Khaan National Museum. The statue is believed to be among the earliest works created by Undur Gegeen Zanabazar.

It is said that, due to social pressures in earlier times, Mongolians entrusted Buddhist relics and treasures to respected scholars such as B.Rinchen and Ts.Damdinsuren for safekeeping. The museum highlighted that turning this precious artifact, once preserved by the three-time State Prize laureate and academician Ts.Damdinsuren, into a public exhibit is of great historical significance.
