The Buryats are one of the largest peoples inhabiting Siberia. They number 440.000 people.

For many thousands of years the Buryats have populated an almost mystical, sacral region, near a unique lake which is more resembling a sea. The lake bears the name of Holy Baikal, or ‘bagal dalai’ in Buryat, meaning ‘great, lofty and limitless’.
