Today, the Tengrist or Altai Turkic peoples celebrate Pakta. Pakta was a male mythological character associated with youth and autumn in ancient Turkic mythology, particularly in Altai, Siberia and Central Asia. He is also a spirit overseeing the harvests. Along with his male companion Payna (pine goddess), he was associated with rituals conducted in rural areas in the fall, at harvest time. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #September 21 #pakta #Turk
