Sun-headed Deities of Tamgaly: A Symbol of Asian Unity

The sun-headed deities depicted in the rock carvings of Tamgaly, Kazakhstan, reflect the cultural diversity and unity of Asian peoples.

It was precisely in Tamgaly, at this archaeological site, that images of these “sun-headed” figures were first discovered.

Tamgaly is a reserve-museum featuring rock art dating back to the Bronze Age.

The petroglyphs of Tamgaly are renowned for their rock paintings, including depictions of sun-headed deities that have become a symbol of "Asia Dauysy" (Voice of Asia).

These sun-headed figures found at Tamgaly have become the main visual emblem of the festival.

Cultural significance: The “Asia Dauysy” festival was created to reflect the cultural diversity and unity of nations through music, and the Tamgaly petroglyphs play an essential role in this vision.

The idea to make them the foundation's logo was no coincidence — it is a meaningful decision.

Sincerely,
Impresario Elbrus Imambaev
