Views: 858

KAKHKAKHA (from Persian – sarcastically laughing) is an evil demon in Bashkir mythology. K. is the tsar of snakes able to turn into anything, a character of the Ural-batyrepic. He has a magical wand which helps him to summon natural catastrophes. He and his son Zarkum try to destroy Ural-batyr. When his kingdom is destroyed, he joins Azraka against Ural­ batyr and dies in battle. In the Akbuzatepic K. is Idel’s son, Ural­batyr’s grandson. Searching for Akbuzat he descends into Shulgan’s underwater kingdom and falls in love with his daughter. However, Shulgan enchanted him, turned him into a 12­headed diyu and called him Kakhkakha. He made him catch beautiful girls for him. Khauban turned K. into a bat for betraying his people. “Dandan­batyr” fairytale shows K. as a diyu that lives over Kaf-tau.
