On the road from Osh to Aravan, there are mountains among which one can discern hills that create the image of a woman lying on the ground.

In the past, the Kyrgyz, lacking explanations for mysterious phenomena, passed down myths and legends to their children. Some of them were entirely fictional, while others contained a grain of truth.

The locals of the Aravan district shared a legend about the mountain "Kelin Tash," located along the road from Aravan to Osh.

According to one version, a woman who was fleeing with her son perished on this mountain. At the same time, those who climbed to the top claim that water flows from there.

The legends that were passed down from generation to generation gradually lost their significance and became more concise.
