Öndör Gongor

[2][3] According to an interview with his daughter G. Budkhand, published in 1997, Gongor was the third child of a herder named Pürev, who lived in the Dalai Choinkhor wangiin khoshuu what is today Jargalant sum of Khövsgöl aimag.

Because he always ate a lot, he became a bit unpopular with his parents, and eventually was sent to Ikh Khüree.

[2] In 1913, he traveled to Russia with a delegation headed by Sain Noyon Khan Namnansüren.

[1] His corpse is said to have been stolen during the funeral – at that time, the deceased were laid out in the steppe to be devoured by birds and other animals.

One of Gongor's grandsons, D. Davaanyam, is a well-known children's author in Mongolia.
