Gyron Bydton is a Udmurt ceremonial festival held in the village of Bolshoy Karlygan in Mari-Turek district. This holiday is known to almost all ethnic groups of the Udmurts, although the names may be different: Gerber (after the plow), Gershid (literally: Geri shid, i.e. porridge in honor of the plow), Gyron bydton (completion of plowing). This calendar holiday is held in the meadow at the most beautiful time - during the flowering period, usually the beginning of July.
