贝加尔湖

贝加尔湖奥利洪岛上类似玛尼堆的石头，在当地通常被称为“敖包 (Ovoo)”，其意义是多方面的，深深植根于布里亚特人的传统信仰和文化习俗中。

The stones on Olkhon Island in Lake Baikal that resemble cairns, locally often called "Ovoo," or sometimes simply understood by tourists as stone piles with prayerful significance, have multifaceted meanings deeply rooted in the traditional beliefs and cultural customs of the Buryat people.

敖包最初是作为祭祀神灵、山神、土地神等自然神祇的祭坛而设立的。人们会向敖包供奉石头、树枝、哈达（象征敬意的丝带）、食物、酒等，以祈求平安、丰收、健康和好运。在奥利洪岛这个被视为神圣之地的地方，这些石堆更是承载了人们对自然力量的敬畏和尊重。

敖包  Ovoos 

Sacrifice and Worship: Ovoos were originally established as altars for sacrificing to deities, mountain spirits, land spirits, and other natural divinities. People would offer stones, branches, hadas (silk scarves symbolizing respect), food, wine, etc., to the Ovoos to pray for peace, good harvests, health, and good fortune. On Olkhon Island, a place considered sacred, these stone piles especially carry people's awe and respect for the forces of nature.
