Astana hosts interactive excursions for Nauryz holiday

The murmur of a stream, the rhythmic dripping of melting snow, and the singing of birds - these sounds of awakening nature capture visitors’ attention at a unique interactive exhibition at the Presidential Center in Astana. Dedicated to the celebration of Nauryz holiday, the exhibition is part of a 10-day program open to all who wish to learn more about this ancient holiday. The opening of the decade of thematic excursions is a vibrant and festive event, featuring performances by national musical ensembles. The exhibition showcases ornamented tableware, household items, traditional embroidery, and sculptures, all contributing to the special atmosphere of the holiday of the Turkic peoples and immersing visitors in the rich chronicle of traditions and customs.

«For Turkic peoples, Nauryz holds special significance, it is not just a holiday on the event calendar but a symbol of renewal, the interaction between humans and nature, and human connection. Around 60 exhibits showcasing the celebration of Nauryz across the Turkic world - among peoples united by deep and centuries-old roots of Turkic traditions - are presented to our visitors today. These exhibits not only reflect the daily life of nomadic peoples but also highlight the unique aspects of their material and spiritual culture,» noted Deputy Director of Kazakhstan’s Presidential Center Botagoz Kaipova.
