Abstract
Galina says that the ritual of worshipping the spiritual masters of nature is performed in an open space on the steppe. This ritual involves a fire which is used to burn milk, butter, and meat as an offering to the spiritual masters of land and water sources. She says that in the past Kalmyks performed such rituals in their ancestral land, near a water source. Monks were involved in reading prayers at such rituals.
