Yurt

The interior is organized rationally, and the interior is a common holistic composition. However, the dwelling is clearly divided into functional zones.

1. The hearth (Gal gulamta) is the center of the Buryat yurt, around which the life of many generations flows.

2. The most revered place is (burhanai tala) located in the northwestern side of housing, a home altar is arranged here.

3. The male in the yurt is traditionally considered to be the left side from the entrance, the western part of the structure. However, in the storm, it is considered right, since the side was determined by a person standing south. It turned out that the female part was left, and the male part was right. This is a very important nuance, since everything related to the concept of "left" was considered alien and otherworldly.
