Angira says that during Zul people light candles and put offerings on the altar. The candlewicks should consist of the same number of grass blades as the age of the person to whom the candlewicks are dedicated. The candles are ignited in the evening after stars appear in the sky. During Zul and Tsagan Sar people pay each other visit, drink tea, eat food, and utter well-wishes.Sponsored by Arcadia Fund, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwi
