A large painting of a nomad with a golden eagle decorates the wall of a house in the capital. Kursiv LifeStyle found that the mural was created to commemorate The 5th World Nomad Games.

The mural depicts a «berkutchi» (eagle hunter) on the skyline as he releases a golden eagle into the sky, symbolizing the start of the Nomad Games. The Mayor’s Office of Astana told about the creation of the 16-meter-tall painting.
