Sacred objects of the Kegen district of the Almaty region of Kazakhstan

Abstract

Kegen district is one of the picturesque land of Zhetysu region.  The history of this region is also deeply hidden, which surprised many researchers with its unique nature.  The wealth of architecture of this place has left its mark on the stages of world civilization and formed the largest and most perfect example of culture in the history of mankind.  It found its worthy reflection in the studies of the outstanding scientist and traveler Chokan Valikhanov, who repeatedly visited this region, including the territory of the current Kegen region.The indelible spirit and immortal traces of the great scientist, who was here not once, but several times lie here.  The scientist-traveler described the beautiful nature of the Kegen region, and in 1927, Mukhtar Auezov, an outstanding writer of our time, saw this land with his own eyes. Merchants from many cities of Russia and Central Asia, from Kulja and Kashkaria, were probably not surprised by the beautiful area, which was the crossroads of nine roads. So, in this article I will write about the sacred objects of an interesting area.
