Sacred Sites of Kyrgyzstan
Description Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, 2009 This film is about sacred places of Kyrgyzstan. Mazars served as places of the worship for the nomads of Central Asia, places for praying to the gods. Ethnographers divide mazars into two types, man-made (these are often tombs of the saints) and natural (caves, springs, lakes, boulders). The obo ceremony is for worshiping sacred places such as water wells and springs. Water has been an object of worship since ancient times. The sacred Kyrgyz sites connected to water are called bulak mazary. Zikir chaluu represents an emotional prayer is recited with pragmatic purposes, such as asking for prosperity, recovery, peace, or fertility. The film also includes Sulaiman-Too Sacred Mountain in Osh, which was the first Kyrgyz site inscribed on the World Heritage list, in 2009.
