Abstract
Ivan talks about how he transported people on his tractor to a place called Dzharun Kashor whey they performed clan rituals, including us tyalgn and gazr tyalgn (worship of water and land). These rituals were performed at the end of August or the beginning of September. It involved a sacrificial sheep whose intestine fat, bones and skin were burnt on a fire. At the site the pilgrims made fresh tea and sprinkled vodka. Ivan stopped transporting people to that place since he sold his tractor 10 years ago.
