Description: This photograph captures the essence of a traditional Tatar Sabantuy celebration in the quaint town of Belebey, located in the heart of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia. Sabantuy is a time-honored national holiday rooted in the Volga Bulgarian epoch, with its origins as a rural farmers' festival. The image offers a striking portrayal of the event's earlier incarnation, before it gained widespread popularity in major cities. 3.

Some are preparing food, while others are playing traditional games, such as "kabak," which involves tossing a large wooden log into the air and catching it with a wooden paddle. The rich, earthy colors of the scene are accentuated by the vibrant clothing of the participants and the verdant, rolling hills in the background. 5.
