A long-time friend from Yakutia sent a photo of the celebration of Ysyakh in Vilyuisk. Bright and colorful.

Ysyakh - the most important holiday in Yakutia. Ysyah literally can be translated as "abundance", is associated with the cult of solar deities, with a religious cult of fertility. Traditionally, the ysyakh is celebrated on the day of the summer solstice - June 21. Also, in recent years ysyakh was held between June 10 and June 25, depending on the ulus, the schedule of the weekend, local preferences etc.
