THE LEGEND OF TAGANAI.

Taganai in Bashkir language means “moon’s tripod”. Tripod for the moon, there is a legend why it’s named so. The legend says that many centuries ago these places were inhabited solely by giants. The head giant was incredibly rich, had many treasures and precious stones. He didn’t allow anyone to touch them. He had three sons and one day these sons decided to steal the gems, put them in a sack and ran away. Their bag had holes in it and all the jewels spilled all over the mountains. That is why the Urals are so rich with gems. The giant looked for his sons, but he couldn’t find them. He sat on the ground and cried for a long time. The moon saw him crying and decided to comfort him, came down and sat on the giant’s shoulder. But then the moon saw that the giant became a stone from his grief and his tears became mountain rivers. That is why this mountain is called lunar pedestal. When the giant’s sons noticed that they lost all the gems they came back home to apologize to their dad, but when they saw him they were so terrified that they became stones as well. And now there are three mountain peaks in Taganai which are called three brothers.
