Abstract
Khargchin recalls how in the 1990s she witnessed lamas playing instruments in a temple in Elista. She says: Today in the temple they play the dung instrument (made from a white shell). They also use bishkyur trumpets. In the 1990s I fell ill and went to a temple in Elista. The lamas there blew trumpets and drummed brass plates. I shed tears because I remembered that many years ago everything had been exactly like that. I even felt relieved. The exact instruments were used in the past.
