Nina talks about how Kalmyks celebrate Zul: During Zul we sprinkle tea offerings (to gods and ancestors). We take the first portion of fresh hot tea with a spoon, put our right leg outside the house and sprinkle upwards. People make bortsg biscuits as well. In our family, we worship two gods that protect our clan. We offer the gods tea and bortsg biscuits, and receive blessings from them. The Kalmyks worship many gods, including Green Tara, Tsongkapa and many others. During Zul, people say well wishes so that Zul passes well, crops grow abundant, happiness arrives, and gods bless us all. During Tsagan Sar people also utter well wishes so that we all live in peace without problems and that the goddess Okn Tengri bestowes her blessing on our families and relatives.
