This pagoda is quite unique in Mongolia. The style is from Indian Buddhism. Although it is called the "1000-Buddha Pagoda", there are actually some 1563 carvings of Buddha on its exterior walls.
Inside the Pagoda there is, sadly, nothing at all - it was all stripped-out and destroyed in the Cultural Revolution.
However, the empty interior has been used to display an ancient stone-carved Mongolian Map of the Cosmos - on Buddhist principles. Another copy of it is outside, set in the walls of the Pagoda grounds.

"The five pagoda also known as The Diamond based Sarira Pagoda, at the end of the temple is very different from the rest. Need to walk through 4 courtyards to reach it. There's a clay cauldron that reflect the pagoda which i find it very interesting. You can climb up the pagoda and get a birds eye vi..."ew of the city. The rest of the smaller shrine and temple is not very interesting.

"Really fun and interesting. My only problem was that the English language signs tapered away as I went through, they started off brilliantly at the beginning, and were non existent for the last couple of rooms. Didn't really detract for me though. Well worth the visit."
"At first glance, it didn't look like a typical Mosque. The building had an interesting mix of Buddist and Islamic elements. Definitely one of the sights not to miss in Hohot. I remember that a wedding was held on the day I visited!"
