Abstract

Water as a natural phenomenon is one of the most revered objects in the religious culture of the Mongolian peoples. The sacralization of water not only as an ethnocultural phenomenon in the space of the Great Steppe, but also as a vital category of life support is recorded in almost all areas of religious practices of the Mongolian sphere from the most archaic to developed practices of Buddhist culture, which spread among the Mongolian peoples in different chronological periods. At the same time, despite some ethno-differentiating features, the practice of veneration of the Water by the Mongolian meta-ethnic community is a unique ethno-consolidating argument in its structure.
