During Zul people add a year to their age. It is believed that during this holiday the lama Tsongkapa descends from the skies. People congratulate each other, make biscuits, tea and offer food to gods. Garya says that different clans celebrate Zul differently. For example, among the Noynakhn clan, of which Garya is a member, families make small boats from dough for each of their members. The next day the dough boats are fried in butter and eaten. Younger members of the family come to pay respect to their elders.
