Tash-Bulak is located in the Sary-Bargy village in Kara-Kulja region of the Osh province. Because Sary-Bargy is a mountainous place, its springs are high in the mountains. Tash-Bulak is located at the edge of the village between two mountains. It is difficult to find the spring because the two mountains are vast. When one looks carefully, they will see the only path between the mountains. Not far from the top of the mountains one can see how white stones had slid down the mountain. The area of the stone slide is wet, but when one goes further up, they will see where the water comes from. The spring is surrounded by stones, but in the center there is one large white stone from which the water originates. The spring is very small – about the size of a large bowl. The water shoots up from the center. Since stones surround it, it is called Tash-Bulak, or “stone spring.”
According to local people, pilgrims should make a pilgrimage here without prior smoking or drinking alcohol. They should do ablution, recite verses from the Qur’an, prepare ritual bread and bring seven kinds of sweets and dried apricot.
The prepared ritual bread should not be prickled and should be unbroken. There should not be a hole, and only then will that person’s wishes be granted. Upon completing the praying ritual at the spring, the bread should be cut in a proper way, and should be broken carefully.
People believe in the power of this spring and whenever they have something on their skin they visit this sacred site and wash themselves. Moreover, the water of this spring is good for stomach illnesses and also for healing internal organs.
