Mongolian Food Traditions and Festivals


Mongolia is a poor country, when referring to the food festivals and traditions. The most important event that takes places in this country is named Tsagaan Sar, which is organized in order to celebrate the lunar new year. Many times the Mongolians have disagreed the fact that they, and furthermore, their traditions might have Chinese roots. This event is a good occasion for the Mongolians to show the national dishes. There are also rituals that are related to this festival. For example, in the third day of this event, a shamanistic sacrifice takes place. The festival is believed to be connected to both shamanism and lamaism.
