Zul is a birthday. On this day, people light candles for themselves at night. Besides this, one special candle with 9 grass stems stuck on it should be dedicated to the goddess Okn Tengri. During Tsagan Sar people are supposed to pay visits to their elders and congratulate them on the holiday. People should not forget to pay a visit to their parents-in-law, which is very important. In the past, it was forbidden to enter the house of one’s parents-in-laws bare footed or without a hat. Out of respect, the visitors were supposed to hold the hand of their in-laws with both hands and bow. It was also forbidden to sit on their bed during a visit.
