Kaldyrgach-biy (Tole bi) Mausoleum
There is a beautiful legend connecting with this mausoleum. When people knew about the occurrence of the Kalmyks, they began quickly to gather their belongings and leave their land. Only Tole bi did not leave his home. On a question why he did not go away, like everyone else, Tole bi said: "One swallow nestled on the roof of my house. It is believed that this bird brings good luck and gives us hope for a brighter future. So I can not leave her here alone and let them destroy the nest "... After such a response, the warlord of the Kalmyks did not touch home of Tole bi. Therefore, madrassas got its name. Tole bi means, "Holy swallow" (Kaldyrgach biy).
