In the district center of Kalmykia opened a monument to the White Elder

In the village of Yashalta, a monument dedicated to the White Elder was opened. This event united the residents of the district, becoming an important milestone in preserving the national identity of the Kalmyk people.

The White Elder is not just a figure of legends, but a deep symbol of purity, eternity and justice. Kalmyks from ancient times worshiped Tsagan Aava as the protector of all living things and the guardian of well-being. They believed that he brought wealth and harmony to their homes.

There is a belief that on the feast of Zul, the White Elder descends to earth to check how people live. On their kindness and righteousness depends the prosperity of the whole region.

Now the residents of Yashalta have their own symbol of unity and spiritual talisman. The new monument will remind of the importance of traditions and protect the Yashalta land.
