Visitors of the Russian Center for Science and Culture in Bucharest can get acquainted with Tuvan shamans, Dagestan mountaineers, indigenous people of the tundra and northern taiga. The exhibition of the Russian Geographical Society "Rites, holidays and customs of the peoples of Russia" opened in the capital of Romania on December 6.
The exhibition includes 19 photographs of the participants of the annual RGS photo contest "The Most Beautiful Country", showing the life of the indigenous and small population of Russia. In one of the picture, photographer Mark Podrabinek captured the sacred rite of the Tuvan shaman's rite on the holy mountain Mongun Taiga. In the focus of Yevgeny Golosyuk is the traditional custom of the Ivan Kupala holiday: the girls tell fortunes by their betrothed, blowing field wreaths on the river. But in the photo of Magomed Magomedov is the amazing scene - there is the highlanders celebrate the birth of a son in one of the ancient Dagestan auls.
The exhibition in Bucharest will last until January 15, 2019.
