This incredible work of art portrays a traditional Airag-making ceremony, as depicted in the painting "A Day of Mongolia" by Marzan Sharav, created between 1905 and 1913. The artwork beautifully captures a typical summer day in the life of a Mongolian nomad, illustrating the cultural significance and rituals associated with this way of life. The Airag Feast is a significant event in Mongolian culture, where families and communities gather to celebrate the summer by sharing food and coming together. A lively scene of people and animals gathered around large vats can be seen in a beautiful painting, showing the preparation of airag, a traditional Mongolian fermented milk product made from mares' milk.
