The article, based on field studies and literature, investigates the peculiarities of the images of the divinity Tsagan aav/avga as well as the tradition of special sacral symbols. Special attention is given to the correlation of orkimdzhi symbols, in the Kalmyk culture, with the symbolism of the ancient system of kin markers that was reflected in the headdress of the healer representing the clan of khans. Conclusions are drawn about the archaic origins of the specific characteristics of Kalmyk Buddhism and the preservation of the ancient oirat traditions in the Kalmyk culture.
