Anu led a counterattack which enabled her husband to escape from the enemy encirclement. Although Galdan managed to flee with a small remnant of his supporters, Anu was killed by an enemy arrow during her charge. She was buried in the foothills of Khangai mountains in an area now referred to as "Khatant" (place of the queen) in present-day Khotont soum of Arkhangai Province.
