Kamlaniye is the Russian name of a shamanistic ritual,
which is called in Tuvan Alganyr (i.e. to pray) or Algysh (i.e. prayer). ~ Sainkho Namtchylak
Kamlaniye is a "shamanistic performance," which aims at bringing oneself to the level
of ecstasy by means of singing, dancing and hitting the tambourine, after which the soul
of the shaman, supposedly, leaves the body temporarily and goes on an encounter with the
spirits, in order to receive guidance from them or to struggle with them.
