At its zenith, this monastery was a center of spiritual and artistic learning, housing 3,000 monks and featuring a distinguished faculty for training architects, painters, and sculptors. The grand Dash Zepelen, its main temple, was a monumental stone structure with 64 doors, 164 pillars, and 30 windows, reflecting the architectural splendor and cultural significance of the time.
