Ukasha-Ata, Memorial complex in Turkestan, Kazakhstan.

The Ukasha-Ata Memorial Complex features a central stone kobyz and four vertical concrete steles that face the cardinal directions.

The construction of the memorial complex started in 1980, with its official opening taking place in 1997 after completion of all structures.

The memorial complex holds particular importance for Turkic peoples, with a museum displaying 700 artifacts related to regional traditions.

Located 20 kilometers northeast of Zhosaly village in the Kyzylorda region, the complex maintains specific coordinates at 43.615 latitude and 68.262 longitude.

Metal tubes installed at the base of the monument create sounds similar to a kobyz when winds sweep across the steppe landscape.

GPS coordinates: 43.61500,68.26200
