Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the working traditions of the Gimrins and the folk rituals reflected there, which are the rich cultural heritage of the highlanders. The scientific novelty of the work is in the study of the history of the folk festive culture of the Gimrin people, which to this day remains poorly studied and is of great interest to a wide range of readers. Before the appearance of writing and works of literature, folklore was the only way to express mountain reality. The folklore of Dagestan is very rich and colorful, presented in the languages of numerous nationalities. The village of Gimry is distinguished by its rich history, its own original traditions and unique material and spiritual culture, which are reflected in folklore. The people living in severe natural conditions, who survived all the hardships of the Caucasian war, which claimed the lives of courageous mountaineers, have a rich folklore heritage going back to the archaic layers of Avar culture. Working traditions, which are reflected oral folk art, emphasize cultural identity of the Gimrins. This manuscript examines the genre peculiarity of oral folk art and the working customs of the Gimrin people, who continue their living existence up today.
