The author definitively outlines the proper sequence for performing the mountain and water sacrifice rituals, which are essential to the four provinces and grounded in the traditions recorded in ancient scriptures. Furthermore, the article delivers crucial information about the shrines and places of worship in the Tosontsengel soum area of Khuvsgul Province. These sites were thoroughly documented in a comprehensive survey of sacred places conducted across Mongolia from 2019 to 2021, along with significant rituals that are explicitly highlighted.
