The word "burkhan it" often appears in the vocabulary of travelers who have visited Lake Baikal. This is the name of the rite of sacrifice, during which you can ask the spirits for the fulfillment of wishes, a successful path, a happy journey and health. The tradition of treating spirits is as old as shamanism itself.
Burkhan is the main deity of Lake Baikal. This custom arose from the beliefs of shamans who worshipped the powerful forces of nature. By the way, the word "Burkhan" has a Turko-Mongolian origin and most often means "khan", "God" or "Buddha".
