The calendar of the Azerbaijani people, shaped over centuries, is intrinsically linked to the rhythms of nature. Kiçik Çillə represents the second phase of winter and is occasionally characterized by greater severity than Boyuk Cille.

The calendar of the Azerbaijani people, shaped over centuries, is intrinsically linked to the rhythms of nature. Kiçik Çillə represents the second phase of winter and is occasionally characterized by greater severity than Böyük Çillə. In the Ceyrançöl steppe, the snowfall upon ancient kurgans and caves evokes a frozen moment in time. The distant sight of sheep flocks, the tracks of shepherds, and the neighing of horses infuse this silence with a breath of life. This snowy landscape embodies the preservation of the folk calendar, the nomadic lifestyle, and the richness of national heritage.
