Tuvan parliament declared 11 February to be a holiday

Tuvan parliament declared 11 February to be a holidayOn 11 February between 4 and 6 AM, Shagaa, the Lunar New Year, will come to Tuva. On the proposal of Buddhists of Tuva, the Supreme Khural of the republic unanimously declared this day to be a holiday.

A day off for welcoming the Buddhist new Year is stipulated in the Constitution of Tuva as a day off.

However, this is a floating date, and every year the Buddhist organization of Tuva has to go to the parliament for approval of the date as calculated.

Moscow Times: Magic Energy at the Centre of Asia

Moscow Times: Magic Energy at the Centre of AsiaIts not surprising that a town located at the exact geographic center of Asia has special psychic energies. Kyzyl, the capital of the Tuva republic, is 3,700 kilometers to the east of Moscow. But as far as its style of business is concerned, it might as well be on another planet.

"If a person decides to move to Kyzyl to start a business," said Otkun Dostay, the head of the Tuvan branch of UNESCO, "he will gain mental and spiritual equilibrium. Finding himself in the middle of the taiga, a person becomes placated by the energy and the breath of nature. It is like recharging a battery."
