At twelve o'clock at night
Kultureller Hintergrund
In many Uzbek households, 'yarim tunda' is considered a time when spirits are active, leading to some superstitions about not sweeping the floor or looking in mirrors at this time. Tashkent has become a '24-hour city' in recent years. 'Yarim tunda' you can find many 'Osh' centers and cafes open, which was not common 20 years ago. The last third of the night, starting around 'yarim tun', is considered the most blessed time for 'Tahajjud' (night prayers). The making of Sumalak is a communal event that peaks 'yarim tunda'. Women gather to stir the pot and tell stories all night long.
