About Mongolia's Tsagaan Sar
Ends: Feb 12, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Tsagaan Sar, meaning "White Moon" or "White Month," is one of Mongolia's most important traditional festivals, marking the beginning of the new year according to the Lunar calendar. Celebrated with elaborate customs and rituals, Tsagaan Sar is a time for Mongolians to honor their heritage and renew familial and community ties.TSAGAAN SAR HISTORY
Tsagaan Sar's origins are rooted in ancient Mongolian practices, closely tied to nomadic lifestyles and shamanistic traditions. Its customs evolved over centuries. Historically, it marked the end of a harsh winter and the beginning of a prosperous spring, crucial for a nation of herders. The "white" in its name symbolizes purity, kindness, and the potential for a fresh start.TSAGAAN SAR CUSTOMS
Tsagaan Sar festivities typically last for several days, beginning with a "Bituun" ceremony the day before the Lunar New Year. Families gather to enjoy a feast, aiming to leave no leftovers to symbolize the leaving behind of the old year's misfortunes.
The first day of Tsagaan Sar starts with family members greeting each other in order of seniority and exchanging snuff bottles as a traditional gesture of goodwill. Following the gift exchange is a lavish meal, including traditional dishes like "buuz" (steamed dumplings) and "ul boov" (a stack of ceremonial cakes).
Wearing their finest "deels" (traditional Mongolian clothing), people visit the homes of elders and relatives to pay their respects. Each visit includes the exchange of gifts and well-wishes for the new year. The festival also includes various regional customs, such as games, horse racing, and traditional music and dance performances.TSAGAAN SAR SIGNIFICANCE
Tsagaan Sar is a cornerstone of Mongolian culture, embodying the values of respect, family unity, and hospitality. It's a time for individuals to settle debts and grievances, symbolizing a clean slate. The festival strengthens community bonds and reaffirms social hierarchies and familial roles, which are integral to the Mongolian way of life. It's also a time for honoring ancestors and preserving Mongolian traditions, ensuring their transmission to younger generations.
Representing the Lunar New Year, Tsagaan Sar is a vibrant and culturally rich celebration in Mongolia. It's a festival deeply ingrained in the Mongolian social fabric, symbolizing renewal, familial respect, and the enduring spirit of a nation deeply connected to its ancestral roots and traditions.
