Specially for the holiday, sümölök was prepared in nine different variations, on the surface of which one could see the image of deer antlers.
“Last year, the sümölök featured the outlines of Mount Karkara, and this year — the head and antlers of a deer. There are many representatives of the Buguu clan in our district, and the deer symbol embodies kindness and courage,” noted journalist Muratbek Jumakadyrov.
Before distributing the sümölök — a national dish, sprouted barley was packaged in 150 boxes, and kuurma tea was prepared, which was offered to residents with good wishes.
Based on the results of the competition for the best yurt decoration, prizes were awarded by the head of the Tyup Ayil Okmotu: 10,000 soms for first place, 8,000 for second, and third and fourth places received 3,000 and 2,000 soms, respectively.
