The memorial of Bokei Khan and Seyid Baba is popular among locals, often for pilgrims. The buildings have an architectural appearance typical of 19th century Central Asia.

So many graves of other people can also be seen in the completed work, in addition to the main graves. Most of the object is occupied by the steppe, which is the substrate of the mapped cultural object.
The Khosheut khurul, located in the village of Rechnoye, is an important center for local residents who follow a traditional lifestyle. Built in the early 19th century by the Kalmyks-Hosheut, Khurul became an important spiritual center of Buddhism in the Lower Volga region. The Khosheut khurul is a symbol of the cultural diversity of the Astrakhan region and an important part of its historical heritage.

Liman Khurul is the largest Buddhist building in the Astrakhan region. Hurul is a place of prayer, spiritual practice and the preservation of Buddhist traditions, uniting believers and supporting the cultural diversity of the region.
