Ysyakh, named Yhyakh in the Tengrism article's own festival list, is the traditional Yakut (Sakha) New Year, celebrated in summer rather than winter. The annual observance in Yakutsk takes place on the last weekend of June, and the wider practice is tied to the Sakha people's Tengrist sky worship, though the sources examined here do not describe its rites in further detail.
