What national traditional festival is Nadam?
The "Nadam" conference held in July and August every year during the livestock fattening season is a cultural and entertainment conference held by people to celebrate the bumper harvest. "Nadam" means entertainment or games in Mongolian. There are thrilling horse racing, wrestling, admirable archery, competitive chess and fascinating songs and dances at the "Nadam" conference. Horse racing is also one of the important activities of the conference. At the beginning of the race, the riders lined up, each wearing a colored belt and a colored towel, full of youthful vitality. There are all kinds of colorful flags at the beginning and end of the horse race. As soon as the horn sounded, the riders flew into the saddle and whipped their horses, and the red scarf flew like an arrow. The top five became the most praised athletes on the grassland. Archery, wrestling and other competitions have also attracted many herders.
