The White Month holiday - Tsagaan sar, Sagan sar, Tsagan sar, or Sagaalgan - can now be called the main, or even the only annual event uniting the Mongolian peoples. Truly universal in the Mongolian world and one of the most important events for Buddhists.
We know that nomads formed the traditions of this holiday in pre-Buddhist times. However, it has always been so important for the peoples inhabiting the Mongolian area that it has very successfully adapted to the Buddhist format and remains one of the most beloved events of the year. Uniquely solemn, joyful, full of sacred meaning...
The full significance of this event was reflected in all traditions of celebrating the new year according to the lunar calendar. This, for example, is the ritual of “opening roads”, and the custom of visiting younger family members with good wishes, and a plentiful treat with “white” and meat food. The White Moon holiday reflects these same good wishes in an unusually poetic way. In fact, they capture the whole meaning of the event.
Erөөl (Mong, Bur.), yoryal (Kalm.) or yoreel (Tuv.) - in any language, such a congratulation and good wish is of great importance on holidays. During the White Month - of course, they are special. In a sense, they carry the function of a kind of “spell” or “invocation” of good - in the form that has been preserved since ancient times, when this kind of heritage was passed on orally...
Anyway, enough thinking for now! Just congratulations!
Our precious readers! Congratulations on the wonderful White Moon holiday! The most magical, popular, common holiday for everyone!
And, of course, accept these good wishes in the languages of different Mongolian peoples, as we believe - uniting under the auspices of the ARD, as once upon a time during the Great Steppe...
Ancient customs of Kalmyks
Until the 19th century, Kalmyks were predominantly a nomadic people. Their main occupation was hunting and breeding small and large livestock, horses, and camels. The dwellings could be dismantled at any time and transported to another location. Sedentary Kalmyks lived in dugouts and huts made of raw brick. Later, permanent wooden and stone houses began to be built, which influenced some ancient customs.
A wedding in Kalmykia was a universal holiday. This joyful event was celebrated not only by members of related families, but also by their friends, distant relatives and neighbors in the Khotons. It was not customary to rush: a long period of pre-wedding preparation, with obligatory rituals of mutual acquaintance, made it possible to take into account all the necessary details and demonstrate the merits of the bride and groom.

*** Mountain sages often give the groom the following order before the wedding: “If you want happiness to visit you for a day, drink wine. If you expect happiness for two days, drink wine and eat meat. If you want to be happy all your life, then don’t just love your wife, but respect her, take care of her and take her opinion into account!” Let's raise a glass to our newlywed, who made the right choice and married a girl whom one cannot help but appreciate!
*** A long time ago, such a custom existed in the Caucasus. The girl, before getting married, had to tame a mountain ram. She took an armful of fresh grass with her and climbed high into the mountains. If she managed to see a mountain sheep, she would throw grass to it. This went on for some time. Ultimately, the ram got used to the girl. Only after she was able to tame the proud, freedom-loving animal could she get married. After all, an untamed beast lives inside every Caucasian man. So let's drink to the women who manage to have the patience to tame us!

*** One ruler was asked a question: “How do you manage to maintain peace and tranquility in your state?” He thought and answered: “When I’m angry, my people are calm.” When people are angry, I am calm. In other words, people calm me down when I’m angry, and I calm them down. A family is like a miniature state. I want to raise my glasses to ensure that peace and tranquility are maintained in your family in this way.
*** In the Caucasus mountains there are many hundred-year-old elders, strong and healthy. And all because those days that a person spends with his friends, in good company, do not count towards age. Let's drink to our newlyweds, who gathered friends for the wedding today and thereby extended their lives!
*** In a high mountain village there lived a horseman, and nearby there was a beautiful girl. They fell in love and got married. But then the horseman went on a journey to earn money, and promised his wife that he would return soon. The Caucasian woman waited for her husband for a long time, but, unable to bear it one day, she decided to send messengers to all his friends in different villages to find out if her husband was there. After some time, the messengers brought news from each friend: “There is no reason to worry, your husband is in my house.” Let's raise this glass to the groom's friends, whom he can always count on!
*** One Caucasian man decided to get married and came to the house of a man who had three daughters. “Choose anyone to be your wife,” said the hospitable host. The horseman approached the first daughter and asked: “Tell me, how much will it be if two are multiplied by two?” “Three,” the girl answered. “What a thrifty wife she will be,” thought the Caucasian man. The second answered the same question: “Four.” “It’s commendable, my wife will be very smart,” the young man thought to himself. From the third he heard: “Five.” “And this one will be a generous wife,” the horseman rejoiced. What kind of wife do you think he chose for himself? Of course, the choice fell on the most beautiful! Let's raise a glass to our groom's wonderful choice! And to all the beautiful ladies at this lavish wedding table!
*** Once upon a time, a man lived in the mountains. He somehow angered fate - and was severely punished for his sin: this man was constantly thirsty, but could not quench it. He drank from wells, drank from fast mountain rivers, but thirst always followed him. And even the best wine could not help him. One day he walked into an unfamiliar house and asked for a drink. A girl of unearthly beauty brought him a jug of ordinary water. This man fell in love with her at first sight and forgot about everything in the world, even about his illness. So let's raise a toast to the kind of love that can quench even the strongest thirst!
*** One man was righteous and a believer. When his life ended, he went to heaven. For his righteous life, God allowed him to live on earth for many more years and gave him three chests with instructions to open them only when this man returned home. But on the way to the ground, he could not resist and opened one chest. Joy flew out of him and flew far away. The confused man opened another chest - love flew out of it and dissolved in the heavens. Clutching the last chest to his chest, the lucky man returned to earth and opened it there. Hope came out of the chest. So let's drink to the young so that they never lose joy, love, or hope!

And now I can’t either. That's why my wife thinks I'm still as strong. So let's drink to smart wives who are able to inspire their husbands even in old age. And to wise husbands who have not lost the ability to be inspired by their wives!
Dating and matchmaking
The matchmaking ritual was divided into three main stages, which were strictly observed.
- Meeting or viewing the groom. The groom, accompanied by a close friend and one of the venerable elders of the family, saddled their horses and went to Khoton, where the chosen one lived. They always took with them three leather furs with vodka and a snack. The elder had to bring a piece of wood glue, silver and gold coins to the home altar. This was followed by the “tsatsl tsatslgn” ritual, when the first drops of drink were dedicated to the spirits of the hearth, and good wishes were sounded for this shelter. After much persuasion, the bride was taken out to the guests. At the request of those present, she had to sing, dance or serve tea to the elders, demonstrating her good manners. In gratitude, she was presented with coins.
- Big matchmaking. After some time, the happy groom with his parents and close paternal relatives, numbering 2-3 people, again arrived at the girl’s doorstep. They brought traditional treats - boiled lamb, sweets, vodka. They also brought gifts to new relatives. On this day, the details of future celebrations were discussed - the number of guests, menu, gifts, who would accompany the groom. It was also discussed what color thread the bride should bring with her to her new home.
- Several elders from both sides gathered for negotiations and agreed on a specific wedding date and details of the ceremony. Everything was important: what color the young woman would be wearing, how old the accompanying man would be, what color the horse would be on which would carry her from her father’s house.
Two or three days before the wedding, numerous relatives rushed to the girl’s house. They did not come empty-handed; everyone brought with them things, jewelry or household utensils that were added to the girl’s dowry.
Matchmaking
The first part—acquaintance
The elder of the community with a young man and his friends arrives at the house of the chosen girl. The delegation has three jugs of vodka and treats with them. The ritual “tsatsl tsatslgn” is performed and after this ritual it can be considered that the wedding will take place.
The second part is the big matchmaking
At this stage, the groom, accompanied by his father, his mother and his closest relatives, pays a visit to the chosen one’s house. Here they arrange gatherings with national treats and discuss the groom's accompanying people and the number of people, as well as create a wedding menu and gifts.
The third part is the wedding day agreement
Several people gather and confirm the date of the celebration.
Wedding celebrations
On the morning of the appointed day, the wedding train assembled at the groom's house. It was headed by an older relative, the father's brother or the groom's brother. Also among the attendants were two respectable married women and the groom's closest friend. We left early to arrive before lunch. Moreover, they drove out and approached the house only from the right, in the direction of the sun, to ensure success in the business. They brought with them ready-made mutton and a live lamb, as well as tea leaves, butter and sweets with baked goods, gifts and small gifts.
Modern Kalmyk wedding
The frantic rhythm of modern life has made its own adjustments to the cultural traditions of the Kalmyks. Nowadays, weddings in cities are celebrated on the same day. In the morning, the groom and his entourage, necessarily a dishonest number of people, 9 or 11, go to pick up the bride. By lunchtime everyone gathers at the groom's house, and in the evening the bride's matchmakers go home.
Rituals in the parental home
Before the wedding, the girl underwent rituals of farewell to her former life and purification. Nails, a lock of hair and a few threads from the fabrics placed in the dowry were cut off, and all this was burned in the fire of the home. The ritual symbolized the girl’s transition to a new family.
Feast at the girl's parents' house
Before meeting the bride, the groom and his relatives had to present gifts to her sisters. Separate bags with gifts for daughters-in-law were brought into the house first. They were followed by tea leaves and oil, then all the other gifts. As soon as the offerings were accepted, the matchmakers could cross the threshold. The groom was the last to enter the house, carrying with him the head of a sacrificial lamb and a fermented milk drink.
The guests necessarily prayed, after which they were seated in a certain order, from right to left: first the head of the wedding delegation, then the eldest and youngest women, and everyone else. Tea was served first. The senior matchmaker explained the reason for his arrival, interspersed with words of gratitude to the receiving party. After which offerings were made to the home altar, and the feast began.
During this evening, the groom's relatives had to sew a pillowcase for a new pillow from the material they brought with them. The corners were smeared with butter or milk and placed on the table as a symbol of a long, rich life and fertility. Following the ritual item, the women presented their treats, consisting of sweets, tea and drinks. When pronouncing good wishes, the guests present placed coins on the pillow. It, along with the collected money, was given to the newlyweds after the wedding ceremony upon arrival at the parental home. And before that, the bride’s relatives deftly hid the pillow and set a ransom for it to the matchmakers.
The bride's farewell to her parents' house
As soon as the guests sang the ritual song “If it rains...”, it was time to take the beauty away. At this time, she was at the altar, praying for a better fate, and drinking milk. The girl was supposed to be picked up in the morning in order to have time to bring her to her new home before lunch or at lunchtime. Because, according to ancient tradition, any important task was started in the morning and tried to be completed before noon.
The eldest woman on the groom's side covered the bride's head with an embroidered scarf, which was then kept throughout her life, and led her out of the house. The bride could not look back at her father's house; this promised misfortune.
Farewell glasses of vodka were poured out to the guests and they were presented with gifts. The head of the wedding delegation touched the bride's dowry with his hand and put money, only after that things began to be taken out and loaded onto carts. And the girl’s relatives hugged the groom’s friends goodbye.
After the departure of the wedding cortege, the girls made an offering to the fire in the house. They threw pieces of fat from a sacrificial lamb at him and wished the best for their little blood - so that they would meet her in a new home with love, accept her as their own daughter, and her life would be easy and satisfying.
Rituals in the groom's house
Some of the girl’s relatives followed the wedding delegation to her new home. It was customary to welcome dear guests abroad with hot tea, pastries and vodka. The motorcade had to approach from the right. First they unloaded and brought in the dowry, then the young and other guests entered. The bride's relatives were seated in places of honor, treating them with all respect and offering the most delicious morsels. In the evening, at the end of the feast, after the ritual song, the guests went home.

Interesting customs associated with weddings and family life
Over many centuries, Kalmyks have accumulated many signs and traditions, which have turned into unspoken laws that determine the life of their society.
- During the first screenings, a lot depended on the memory and eloquence of the senior matchmaker. He had to tell nine legends while eating. If he got confused or forgot something, an indelible shame fell on his family. And the bride’s father could have demanded a saddled horse in addition to the bride price, or not given his daughter to such an irresponsible family at all.
- The number of people accompanying the groom had to be odd.
- In no case should the wedding cortege include young unmarried girls who could “intercept” the bride’s feminine happiness.
- According to Kalmyk beliefs, a sheep is a symbol of the dual position of a woman, because she belongs to two clans at once - the family into which she was born and her husband’s.
- In the husband's house, the young wife was given a new name, which meant a partial transition to another clan and the beginning of a new life. At the same time, the woman did not completely break ties with her parents.
- Before entering the new roof, the young woman had to kneel in front of the fireplace and pray. A man from the groom’s clan stood behind her and bowed her head seven times as the names of the clan’s ancestors were pronounced. In this way, the girl paid tribute to her new family and remembered her new relatives.
- Upon entering the house, the newlywed was dressed in new clothes prepared by the groom, and her braid was divided into two parts, which symbolized her formation as a woman of the clan.
- The girl had to bring a white shirt as a gift to her husband, which was then given to the khurul.
- The mother-in-law, who raised a wonderful son, received a special gift from the bride’s relatives - white trousers. She had to dance a special dance in them.
- Particular respect was shown to women carrying a child under their hearts. Even the older men in the family during this period gave way and tried not to upset the expectant mother.
- The young wife was not supposed to walk barefoot and bareheaded in front of her father-in-law.
Caucasian toasts for a wedding
In the Caucasus they say: “If you want to be happy for one day, drink wine.” If you want to be happy for two days, drink fine wine for two days. If you want to be happy all your life, respect, appreciate and take care of your wife.” So let's drink to the young wife! May she prolong her husband’s happiness for life!
One mountaineer caught a wild sheep in the mountains. At that moment, when he raised his sharp knife to slash the animal’s neck and kill it, the ram said to the mountaineer in a human voice: “Listen, dear!” Do not kill me. If you release me back to freedom, I will marry you the kind of wife you can only dream of. But the man did not accept the ram’s offer; the feeling of hunger drowned out the voice of reason in him. He ate the lamb raw because he didn’t know how to cook food at all. For three days the highlander treated himself to raw lamb. But her supply ran out. But the highlander failed to catch another ram. So the wild highlander died of hunger, but before his death he very much regretted that he had not listened to the ram and refused the wife he offered him. Let's drink wine to our wives who don't let us die of hunger while we do our men's business!
The newlyweds once went to their great-great-grandfather for a blessing for a long and happy life. They arrived and asked: “Tell us, for God’s sake, how did you live to such a ripe old age? And how could we live without illness and suffering?!” Their great-great-grandfather looked at the young couple and said that he simply lived and loved what he had, without worrying about what he didn’t have! Don't waste your energy counting the sheep in someone else's flock - protect your own!
Once in a mountain village, a mother admonished her daughter before the wedding: “My child, never argue with your husband, never contradict him with a word—cry right away!” So let’s drink to ensure that not a single tear falls from the eyes of our newlywed!
Mountain sages often repeat to grooms: “If you want happiness to visit you for a day, drink wine. If you expect happiness for two days, drink wine and eat meat. If you want to be happy all your life, then don’t just love, but respect, take care and take into account the opinion of your wife!” Let's raise a glass to our newlywed, who made the right choice and married a woman whom one cannot help but appreciate!
Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli said: “What you hid is lost; what you gave is yours! Let's give each other the warmth of our souls! Here’s to you, dear newlyweds!
For the wedding, the mother of the young, beautiful bride gave her future son-in-law two ties. The gallant, smart young man immediately exchanged the tie he was wearing for one donated by his mother-in-law. But the evil woman, seeing this, accused her son-in-law of not liking the second tie and not wanting to wear it. So let's drink to the fact that the mother-in-law of our today's groom never tightens a noose around his neck, especially a double one!

So let’s drink to the love of beautiful women, because that is the meaning of our lives!
A friend of mine, a doctor, told me about one of his patients. Having examined him and realizing that the man was seriously ill, he took his wife aside and told her: “Listen, dear, I don’t like your husband.” To this the woman replied: “Me too, doctor, but the children love him so much!” So let's drink to the fact that our groom is loved by his children no less than the children of the patient from this story, and his wife is much stronger.

In the morning I’ll go to the office, sit down at the desk, light a long cigarette, and start saying that I have an awful lot of work to do, and that I should start on it immediately after lunch. Then I’ll go with another businessman to a restaurant and eat and eat to my heart’s content, then I’ll return to the office and start scolding everyone for not doing anything. Then I’ll go home early and, terribly tired, I won’t do anything else, I’ll just read newspapers, watch TV and smoke cigarettes. So let's drink to the children - our future!
Far away in the mountains lived warring tribes of giant eagles and golden eagles. And they had a talisman - a necklace of fabulous beauty, for which they constantly fought.

One wise man had a daughter. Two people came to her to marry her: a rich man and a poor man. The sage said to the rich man: “I will not give my daughter for you,” and married her to the poor man. When asked why he did this, he replied: “The rich man is stupid, and I am sure he will become poor. The poor man is smart, and I foresee that he will achieve happiness and prosperity.” If that sage were with us today, he would raise the cup of wine to the fact that when choosing a groom, brains are valued, not wallets.
One old Georgian woman was walking along a narrow mountain path and saw a coin in the dust. She picked it up and was so happy about her find that she immediately forgot what business she was on, turned around and hurried home. On the way home, she met a neighbor and told her about the coin she had found. She hoped for luck and ran along the same path. Having walked a little further than her neighbor, she saw two coins lying on the ground, picked them up and went back. She met her other neighbor and showed her the coins she had found. And she went in search of money. She was luckier; she found a whole wallet. When the woman who was the first to find the money found out about this, she was very angry, but she did not find anyone guilty of her mistake. Let's drink to the fact that the new family always confidently follows the chosen path and does not deviate from it at the slightest failure. After all, only that married couple will find true happiness who will not succumb to dubious temptation and reach their intended goal hand in hand!

Brother for brother
The first day of the wedding celebration of the newlyweds, Radu Corduneanu and his wife Cristina , passed without incident. The newlyweds and their thirty guests had fun, drinking and eating. The accident happened on the second day.
The REN TV channel published exclusive footage in which the groom Radu Corduneanu and one of the guests from his wife’s side, Vladimir Devyataev , go to the store and think about which way to go. Looking at these shots, it’s hard to think that two friends will soon quarrel and one will shoot the other.

Investigators have completely reconstructed the picture of what happened. According to their version, the drunken Vladimir Devyataev did not speak very flatteringly about Cordunyan’s Moldovan origin. The guest was pushed out the doors of the nightclub, and the celebration continued.
The conflict was so minor that it seemed to be immediately forgotten. Everyone, but not Vladimir. He called his brother Alexei , who brought him weapons. Vladimir called the groom for a conversation. brother Philip left the restaurant .
Devyatayev shot both at point-blank range; the bullet hit Philip in the heart. Investigators would later find seven shell casings at the site.
Another version of what happened was voiced in the media. At the height of the festivities, Philip and Vladimir took part in a dance battle. Perhaps even then Vladimir decided to prove his superiority over the Corduneanu family.
