For nomadic herders, the summer season is characterized by an abundance of dairy products. In July, during Naadam, the "three manly games" are fought: wrestling, horse racing and archery. Here, the winning wrestler is about to ritually cast fistfuls of dried cheese toward the heavens and the earth, then toward the public, to thank and honor the spirits, and to share his luck. 2001
