Mongolia
In Mongolia days of the week retain their Sanskrit roots as Adiya (Sunday), Somiya, Angarakh, Budhiya, Sookar and Sanchir (Saturday). The traditional medical system prevalent throughout Mongolia even today is the Ayurveda. The Indian system of astrology is practiced there. Ancient Sanskrit treatises on astrology, medicine, prosody and grammar, rarely found in India are still treasured and taught in Mongolia. Mongolians also store and worship Ganges water. They study ancient Indian scriptures connected with King Bhoj, Lord Krsna and the Hitopadesa. Their history starts with Manu. The Indian eagle is the guardian deity of the Mongolian capital Ulan Bator.
