Pavlodar Irtysh region has a rich history. Tribes lived on these lands many centuries ago, they left behind a great cultural legacy in the form of the remains of dwellings, religious buildings, and other important for the Kazakhstan history artifacts. The sacred places of the Pavlodar Irtysh region are the richness of the history of our country, which contributes to the spiritual development of a person based on his links with his native land, culture and traditions.
To date, the objects included in the sacred map of the region can be divided into two groups. The first group included seven most significant objects of republican, national significance, these are: Konyr-Aulie Cave, Zhasybai Batyr’s Grave, Mashkhur Zhusup Kopeev Mausoleum, Akkelin Historical and Memorial Complex: M. Shormanov’s estate and mausoleum – Bayanaul district, Auliekol Archaeological Complex, Issabek ishan hazret Mausoleum – Ekibastuz region, Sultanbet Sultan’s estate, which is located within the city limits of Pavlodar. The second group includes sacred objects of the regional level. Every year new sacred monuments appear on the map of the Pavlodar Irtysh region.
The exhibition “Sacred places of the Pavlodar Irtysh region” has been decorated in the college library. Through books from the library’s collection, I would like to attract more attention and interest of students to the sacred places of the Pavlodar region.
