Lunar New Year at the Office of the Bronx Borough President
It was an honor for the children to present their Kalmyk heritage—steppe music in the form of dombra tunes, the Green Tara dance, which emphasizes our religious identity, and national costumes.
Lunar New Year, like Tsagan Sar, is a celebration of renewal, light, and new beginnings. May the lunar New Year 2026 be bright and kind for everyone. Thank you to the organizers for the warm welcome and the opportunity to be part of this joyful event. A huge thank you to the teachers @tatiana_kdbad @saglarnaimino @phoenix_ensemble_nyc @dombrbair_nyc for their contribution to the preservation of Kalmyk culture in the United States.

Zul - Kalmyk Buddhist Holiday
Zul is an important Kalmyk holiday, celebrating both the new year according to their lunar calendar and the Parinirvana of the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, Lama Tsongkapa. Celebrated on the 25th day of the tenth lunar month, it involves cleaning and a special meal of biscuits (bortsoki) and tea, but meat is often abstained from. A key ritual is lighting candles with wicks representing the ages of family members to mark a communal new year.
