Rukh Ordo, Open-air cultural center in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan.
The Rukh Ordo complex stretches across 4.5 hectares along the northern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul, featuring religious temples and exhibition halls.
Established in 2002 by Tashkul Kereksizov, the cultural center opened its doors in 2007 and received a dedication to writer Chingiz Aitmatov in 2008.
The complex contains five white temples representing major religions: Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Orthodox Christianity, and Catholicism, each displaying their religious artifacts.
Visitors can explore ten mini-museums showcasing Kyrgyz traditions, view portrait exhibits of nomadic designs, and attend concerts in the lakeside hall.
The center houses a granite ball symbolizing science, statues of Kyrgyz khans, and an informational exhibit displaying the family tree of Turkic tribes.
