Date: Around March 22nd.
Place: Inking
Activities: The festival is held among the Kazak ethnic group. As
an interesting activity at the festival, a game called girl chasing
is held. While riding from the start point to the end on horseback,
boys can play jokes with girls or even confide their love. Girls
shall not get sulky while on the way back, girls on horseback will
chase after boys. If a girl catches up with a boy, she whips him,
while he is not allowed to fight back, if the girl likes the boy,
she will just wave her whip in the air.
