Abstract

Bulgun briefly talks about how Tersk Kalmyks celebrated Zul and Tsagan Sar:During Zul, we used to put candles on a shovel and push it into the oven so that the smoke went out through the chimney. After Siberia, I was told that if I did not have a stove in my house I should take my baked candles to the street so that gods could see them. These were rites that we, Tersk Kalmyks, did differently from other Kalmyks groups. Otherwise, we celebrated Zul similarly to other Kalmyks. During Tsagan Sar we made bortsg biscuits (tselvg and huts varieties). Shape-wise, we also made biscuits resembling domestic animals. We loved to sing, dance and play cards.
