mudor suan

    0.01 sec.

mudor suan

Ceremony in which the Votyaks or Udmurts (peoples of the Ural Mountains) consecrated a new family or clan shrine when the ancestral home was too small to accommodate all its members and a new site had to be blessed. The main ceremony consisted of taking ashes from the hearth of the ancestral shrine (kuala) and transferring them to the shrine at the new location, which was then considered a subsidiary of the ancestral kuala.
