In earlier times Mangus was a great shaman. He was the Lord of the "Onion Mountain" where he was buried, which is situated in the west of Urga (today's Ulaanbaatar), north of the river Tuul.
Garuda, Dog's Head, Wild Board and Ash-Grey Old Man all belong to the group of masks called "The four local Lords ". They respresent the spirit and soul of deceased Shamans.
