Chandaghatu is less a person than a presence fashioned from white hare-skin, at once strange and ceremonial. The brief description gives the figure an uncanny, talismanic stillness, as though it belongs to a world where the sacred is woven into the hunt.

Among the Buryats, Chandaghatu is named as a tutelary figure of the Chase and War. The account describes it as formed of white hare-skin, but gives no further shape or narrative of its own. Its significance rests in this sacred association and its striking material form.
Description
Chandaghatu is described as formed of white hare-skin, the sole concrete detail of its appearance. The text does not specify its height, build, face, eyes, or exact form, nor does it mention clothing or accessories. Its visual identity should remain centered on the pale hare-skin and its solemn, symbolic presence.
