Акмечеть-Аулие, Sacred cave near Kenestobe village, Kazakhstan
The limestone cavern stretches 254 meters in length, features a width of 65 meters, and reaches a height of 25 meters in the Turkistan region.
During the Dzungar invasions of the 18th century, the cave provided shelter to Kazakh warriors under the command of Esirkep Qoygeldi batyr.
People visit this site seeking blessings, with many couples experiencing fertility challenges participating in overnight prayer rituals within the cave.
The cave maintains consistent temperatures throughout the year, offering warmth during winter months and cooling relief during summer periods.
Water droplets regularly fall from the cave ceiling through limestone cracks, creating a natural acoustic environment where sound does not travel between corners.
