I'm really curious to know exactly where this festival is held. Can we put our heads together and try to decifer a location? I will try....
The locale pictured is reminicent of where the Shabhala Music festival in BC is held. I picture Siberia.... BTW, my Flickr group "Obscure festivals with nudity" is gaining membership fast, in part because of the pics I've added recently from this thread and the Tichovsky Tulen thread. Kondike |
Ok, the location is the Russian republic of Altay, or "Altai" which is way out in the middle of nowhere. Interesting as it makes Khan Altay probably about the most remote event with nudity in the world (OK, disregarding tribal nudity).
That is a long ways from Moscow, probably a couple of thousand miles. The "Khan" in Khan Altay is undoubtedly a reference to Ghengis Khan who once roamed the region. KLondike |
"Khan" - because local people belong to the Turkic language group.

Found these in a huge album, from some kind of horse trek in this remote region. (There's even a saddle hanging from the tree in the clothed pic, if you don't believe me :))
