As a consequence of defeat many
of the Kalmyk people fled to the shores of the Black Sea in hope that they would be evacuated with the anti-Communist armies. They were allowed asylum in Turkey and in Istanbul they established the temple. In 1920 the head of the temple baksha Nimgrov died and in 1923 the Kalmyk closed the temple down and established a new one in Belgrade. The first temple was installed in this house, (still there) while the second one which hosted the temple from 1925 -1929 was demolished around 1940s. |
