Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

In Mongolian culture, family plays a central role in people's lives. The concept of family extends beyond just immediate relatives, and includes extended family members and close family friends. Mongolians have a strong sense of kinship and respect for their elders, and it is common for several generations to live together in the same household.

Traditionally, the eldest son holds a special position in the family hierarchy and is responsible for carrying on the family name and traditions. The father is regarded as the head of the family, and his role is to provide for and protect his family. The mother is highly respected and plays a crucial role in nurturing and raising the children.

It is also important to note that Mongolians have great reverence for their ancestors. Ancestral worship is a significant part of Mongolian culture, and families often have a designated space in their homes where they display portraits and offerings to their ancestors.
