Most Mongols in Inner Mongolia are followers of Tibetan Buddhism.1

Specifically, the tradition practiced is largely associated with the Dge-lugs-pa (Gelugpa, or Yellow Hat) school. This form of Buddhism, which is marked by ritual and a hierarchical monastic system, has deeply influenced the region's culture, including its architecture, liturgical music, and religious arts. While this Buddhist tradition is dominant, some aspects of shamanism continue to be practiced alongside it in certain areas.2341
