“Tengri
see colours as symbolic of a natural order.
Kok, which describes all the blues and greens means ‘god given’. Tengri itself is ‘a great-blue sky’. Sary describes all the earthly colours from yellow through red and brown. Umay is the female manifestation of Tengri, coming from earth which is Sary (yellow). So when we are alive our body is from the earth and our soul from the sky and when we die, each returns to its place, and our circle is complete.”
