KAF-TAU

Views: 737

KAF-TAU (Kaf mountain) is the highest mountain at the edge of the world in Bashkir mythology; it is the abode of evil demons (azhdakha, diyu, pyariy,s etc.) or a border between human and demon worlds. According to belief, clouds take azhdakha to K.­m to keep him from turning  into yukha. “Dandan­batyr” and “Kagarman­batyr” fairytales say that demons kidnap beautiful women and take them to K.­m., then a batyr comes there to rescue them. “Altynduga­batyr”  fairytales  tells  that  the  main character marries the daughter of diyu that lived on K.­m., having defeated her in a duel. The concept of “KAF” exists in Muslim cosmology.
