NOMADIC DWELLING

Yurts became the ideal nomadic dwelling. After all, it can be perfectly unfolded or folded. It takes only one hour to make one.

The traditional material for making a yurt is felt. The main elements of the yurt are the frame and covering...

The entrance was closed with quilted felt, nowadays, a double door is more often used.

Windows were rarely made, allowing light to penetrate through the center of the roof.

Yurts have different purposes.
Those intended for dwelling have simple decoration so that they could be quickly assembled.

Guest yurts are very ornate.

The doors of the yurt always face south so that one could easily determine the time of day.

The sun's ray would penetrate through the center of the roof and then glide around the perimeter, thus creating the semblance of a sundial.

There are a number of customs that must be observed when visiting a yurt.
Undesirable actions include:
- Visiting a yurt without being asked;
- Approaching the yurt by car;
- Talking across the threshold;
- Visiting the yurt with weapons;
- Silent entry - only robbers could do this;
- Entering the yurt during childbirth;
- Taking milk or fire from the yurt;
- To whistle loudly means to summon evil spirits

The grassy steppe under the horse's hoof,
🦅A bird of prey lurks in the sun.
☀The foreign nomads do not remember me,
🤦*♂They can only dream of me now and then.

Let me, my father, heavenly Tengri.
🚶*♂From now on, life is free to fly and walk,
On the tips of fingers or toes
A gray totem that runs east.

The yurt's stepson is warm
In the wind that holds the wing,
And his thirst is not in cold streams,
And in the reins of his worn hands🐴🌱💦
