Altynai Egemberdieva, a cultural worker, reported that the matchmakers' meeting took place in the village of Don-Aryk.
Egemberdieva, a cultural figure from Tokmok, has been performing the role of "jarchy," singing "Jar-jar" — a traditional song when the newlyweds appear before the guests — for many years.
As Altynai noted, this time she performed as the "erkе kız." "The bride's farewell took place on November 13. The hosts' friends prepared 120 different dishes, including 'Shi.' I have participated in wedding celebrations for many years, but I have never seen so many treats before. It was original. Of course, the video of the event is actively discussed on social media, with users sharing their opinions. Pay attention to the dastorkon — everything is neatly arranged, nothing superfluous. Usually, a horse is slaughtered for the matchmakers' meeting, but I think that this option with 120 treats is more acceptable — without waste, and there is enough food," she shared.
In 2018, Turmush published an article about Altynai Egemberdieva and her activities. She became the Grand Prix winner at the festival "Soӊ Kölдүн ak taӊдагы shoокумдары" in Naryn.
