Contexto cultural

The sun determines the daily rhythm of milking, herding, and moving camp. 'Нар гарах' is the signal to start the day's labor. The sun (Etseg Nar - Father Sun) is a deity. Its emergence is seen as a spiritual blessing. Due to winter smog (smoke), 'нар гарах' is used when the wind blows the smog away and the blue sky is visible. The sun is a constant metaphor for the mother's love. A mother's presence is often described as 'нар гарах.'
