Turanga is an exception in the world of botany. The leaves of this tree have different shapes in various parts of the crown. For this reason, it is also called the "colorful spruce." The twisted and ancient trunks of this tree are a safe harbor for rare birds, such as robins, hoopoes, golden eagles, and white-tailed eagles. The branches of the Turanga, even in completely calm air, move in a magical way and create a wonderfully cool shade.
For the people of this land, Turanga is a symbol of endurance. This tree, which is registered as a rare species in the "Red Book" of Kazakhstan's nature and for which felling is prohibited, has now become a symbol for the protection of cultural and natural heritage.
The name of the sacred Turanga tree is intertwined with the history of Turan and the immortal epics of the Shahnameh. It is the guardian of memories that, if we remain silent, the winds will recount for us. In legends, the transparent droplets that sit on the leaves of this tree are called the "Tears of Turanga." This name is derived from an epic and romantic story. Turanga is the narrator of an ancient pain and an eternal love that is still whispered in the breezes of the Balkhash nights.
