Abstract

There are three main Oboo worship sites in the Salhit pasture in Khar Us: Bayanöndör Oboo, Shaliwan Gegen Oboo, and Epic Jangar Oboo. From Bayangu to the Jargalant River, every valley is distinctively named by the Torghuts. For example, from east to west, the names are: Huiten Gol, Tekhin Horoo, Tostiin Horoo, Ayuut, Mösön Salaa, Tüleetin Salaa, Ashaatin Salaa, Gamuhain Bituu Hargai, Bayan Hargai, Devsen, Janjin Horoo, Ailch, Hurgutin Bulag, Jargalant River, Salhit Maljih Talbai, and Tabilhat Maljih Talbai. Climate change has caused significant social transformation in recent years. Herders no longer move to their summer and winter pastures in the deep mountains, leading to overstocking in the lower-altitude pastures.
