Description
Bai-รlgen or รlgen (Old Turkic: ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ
๐ฐฃ; Cyrillic: าฎะปะณัะฝ) is a Turkic creator-deity, usually distinct from Tengri but sometimes identified with him in the same manner as Helios and Apollo. His name is from Old Turkic bay, "rich", and รผlgen, "magnificent". รlgen is believed to be without either beginning or end.
In Tengrism, the birch tree, regarded as a cosmic axis between earth and sky, was regarded as sacred to him, as was the horse (horse-sacrifice was a part of his worship). รlgen symbolizes goodness, welfare, abundance, plentiness of food, water, etc. Furthermore, he created earth, heaven and all living beings. In addition, he controls the atmospheric events and movements of stars. He creates land for people to live on, the heads of both humans and animals and the rainbow. He was regarded as the patron god of shamans and the source of their knowledge.
It is believed that รlgen has been created from Kayra (Tengere Kayra Khan). He is the highest deity after Tengri in the pantheon. Often, รlgen is compared with Tengri and at times they are thought to be on par, or even the same. In some sayings, the name/function of รlgen may be (partially) interchangeable with that of Tengri.
