All but three of the temples in Erdene Zuu were destroyed during the purges and an unknown number of monks were either killed or sent to Siberian gulags. The three temples in the
compound – Zuu of Buddha, Zuun Zuu and Baruun Zuu – which were not destroyed in the 1930s, are 
dedicated to the three stages of Buddha’s life: childhood, adolescence and adulthood. We can witness some Buddhist rituals being held at the white Tibetan-style Lavrin Süm temple.
