Moving horse herd in Kyrgyzstan, 2019
The culture of Kyrgyzstan has a wide mix of ethnic groups and cultures, with the Kyrgyz being the majority group. It is generally considered that there are 40 Kyrgyz clans, symbolized by the 40-rayed yellow sun in the center of the flag. The red lines inside the sun visualise the crown of a yurt, the traditional dwelling of nomadic farmers, once the main population of the Central Asian area.[1][2] The dominant religion of Kyrgyzstan is Sunni Islam (91%). The Russian population is Russian Orthodox.
