Spending some years as a novice in a local monastery, he seems to have developed technical and creative attempts early on.
Although being married and father to six daughters, Gelenkhüü's desire for a son eventually grew so strong that he left his home for two years and travelled to the Darkhad areas in northwestern Khövsgöl in order to consult the shamans living there.
Being an outcast in a community both fearful and suspicious of shamanism, she left Gelenkhüü soon afterwards and returned home.
Gelenkhüü, afraid of her possible revenge and evil spirits, erected a suvarga close to his home, using a white-spotted black yak to collect the building material and burning incense sticks and butter lights upon its completion.
Fortunately he had been prudent enough to drive his sheep to the foot of the cliff before jumping into the abyss and got away unharmed.
