Abdai Khan
The Tüsiyetü Khan Abdai (also: Abatai Sayin Khan, * 1554 ; † 1588 ) was a prince of the Khalka Mongols and a Genghiside .
Abdai was the first of the Khalka princes to accept the title of "Khan" or is said to have received it from the Dalai Lama Sonam Gyatso in 1587 in Hohhot . Abdai's younger brother Tümengken got the title Sajn Noyan and became the progenitor of the Sajn Noyan khans .
In 1577 Abdai defeated part of the Oirats in the Kobdo area and put his son Subaadaj at their head. At that time the Oirats were very scattered and lived scattered on the Irtysh and Altai .
The Khan was a patron of Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia and founded 1585/6 the monastery Erdene Zuu Monastery on the southern edge of the decaying Karakorum . A number of stones from Karakoram were used for the construction of the monastery, as remains of inscriptions show.
