[1] Ülgen symbolizes goodness, welfare, abundance, plentiness of food, water, etc.
Bai-Ülgen lives on the sixteenth floor of the sky above the stars, sun and moon in a golden house.
Mere humans may never reach him, only shamans and kams who possess astral powers can.
Once in every third, sixth, ninth, or twelfth year, a shaman may sacrifice a white horse as the first step of reaching Ülgen.
If the sacrificial rite has been successful, the shaman is able to learn from the omniscient Ülgen of impending dangers, such as bad harvests.
