Yada Tashy

Two large boulders stand in an open field, with one stone displaying a reddish color and the other presenting a greenish tint.

The stones have been documented in the 11th century by Turkish scholar Mahmud al-Kashgari in his work 'Divan Lughat al-Turk' as ceremonial objects.

Local Bashkir people perform traditional rituals at these stones, pouring water over them during droughts and applying oil during periods of excessive rain.

The site remains unplowed and protected by a fence installed by local residents, while a marker indicating the geographic center of Bashkortostan stands nearby.

When agricultural tools accidentally touched these stones, locals reported that rain clouds would form and precipitation would begin even during clear weather conditions.
