Nomadic communities in Mongolia

Caption

Every year, at the beginning of summer, our herders come together to offer milk and cheese to the Ovoo spirit, circlingclockwise to pray for the health of the community and nature. This annual custom brings nomadic families together. This ensures knowledge and values are collectively shared and preserved.
