A fact from Ongon appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 August 2012. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Mongolian shamanism (which comes in yellow and black) reveres a white old man (pictured) besides ongod such as Dayan Deerh and 99 or possibly 102 tngri?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Did you know archive/2012/August. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mongolian shamanism.

There is a good encyclopedic article on the subject of "Ongon" written by Roberte Hayamon in 1987 which was also represented, with additional bibliographical material, in the 2005 Encyclopedia of Religion edited by Lindsay Jones. The source is available on the Highbeam Research site. I believe a version of it is also available free online, here, and another version of it published in a Macmillan compendium is I believe available free on the internet as well. I can access it easily, so I don't think it is behind a paywall, but if it is, let me know and I will e-mail a copy. John Carter (talk) 23:14, 15 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ongun at Turkic People

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Ongun is used by Turks too. For Turks, Ongun is something that has spirit in it. It is similiar to Amerixan totems. A lot of tribes have onguns, onguns are mostly animals and serve as symbol of the tribe. They can also be a tool or something else. They are though to protect the tribe. 5.176.135.246 (talk) 21:44, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
