Overview
Dorjsürenkhoroljab was the last Tüsheet Khan, holding the title Ochirai Bat Tüsheet Khan from 1912 to 1923. He succeeded Dashnyam in the year after Mongolia declared independence from the Qing, and held the title through the Bogd Khan era and the revolution of 1921. In 1923 the Tüsheet Khan aimag was renamed Bogd Khan Uulyn aimag, ending a title that Abtai Sain Khan's line had held since the 1580s. Sources record little of his own acts.

Legacy
Dorjsürenkhoroljab closes a line of more than three centuries. The title that began with Abtai's meeting with the Dalai Lama ended not in defeat but in quiet abolition, as revolutionary Mongolia replaced hereditary aimags with a new administration.
