Malkh-Festival

Deela-Malkh fylfot

Malkh is a festival gifted to the Deela-Malkh in Vainakh mythology. 25 December was the Birthday and the festival of the sun. During the ceremonies suppliants turned to the east. Also in Nakh Architecture temples and house façades were directed to east. Nakh people believed that Sun went to visit her mother Aza at the summer and winter solstices. The journey took her six months to complete. Nakh people used fylfot as symbol of Deela-Malkh on their buildings and tomb-stones.^[1]
