Abstract
Ekaterina says that she has a picture of Tsagan Aav depicted as a standing sage (as opposed to a sitting one). From her friend she heard that Tsagan Aav comes to the dreams of those people who work on land. Ekaterina shares her observation that today many Kalmyks have Tsagan Aav on their altar, although in the past this deity was not as popular. According to her, growing belief in Tsagan Aav is one possible explanation of why this deity is so popular today.
