The enchanted door of the Western Mountains
Description
A second famous tale in Shigar is about our western mountains which have two peaks with a door between them. The grassy meadow beyond this door leads to a vast pasture. People say that during August, when the summer is at its peak, permission is granted to stay beyond this door for 40 day with the sheep and goats, while remaining in a state of ablution and offering prayers. If the latter is not done, stones will start to pelt, and people are harassed, forcing them to flee. It is also said that this door sometimes remains closed and sometimes open. People believe that when the door opens, fairies come out, visit the river, bathe, comb their hair, and then return inside the door.
