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.
The World Nomad Games will take place in Astana on September 8-14. This is an international competition in ethnic sports such as archery and hunting with birds. Participants not only compete in these sports, but also in science and cultural knowledge. The previous games were held in Turkey.
The actor Percy Hynes White showed interest in the Nomad Games during Comic Con Astana and promised to attend them.
