Tuva-Online Information Agency is turning today 3 – not a jubileum date in Europe but quite an event in Tuva to hold a Doy ceremony! It is a ritual taking place on child's third birthday when he has his hair for the first time cut (that is why before this age boys are very often taken for girls in Tuva) and is presented with numerous gifts. The child acquires his own property made up of sheep, horses, camels etc.
