Ilyumzhinov congratulates people of Kalmykia on the Spring Holiday

From the bottom of my heart I congratulate fellow countrymen on the bright holiday of Tsagan Sar!

Tsagan Sar is a symbol of the coming of spring and the awakening of nature, of new beginnings and hopes. On this day we see off the winter and look forward to the onset of spring – the giver of warmth and the awakening of nature. With the advent of spring, we connect all our hopes and expectations of joy and happiness.

Kalmyk people from ancient times pay special respect to the bright and long-awaited holiday of Tsagan Sar, as it marks the arrival of warmth and abundance in everything.
May this holiday warm your hearts with joy and warmth of communication with family and friends, bring harmony, happiness and good changes to your homes! Let luck accompany you in all your endeavors!
