Contexte culturel
The 'belbog'' is a symbol of manhood. In traditional ceremonies, a father might tie a belt around his son's waist to mark his transition to adulthood. In Kurash, the belt is the primary tool. Wrestlers must hold each other's belts. Tying the belt is the ritual that begins the fight. At large gatherings, the 'belbog'' is worn by those serving. It signals to guests that these people are available to help. During the cotton harvest or 'Hashar', tying the belt is a sign of solidarity among workers.
