Muligort village (mulə kurt) is situated in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District – Jugra, in the Oktabr’skoe region. It lies on the beautiful high shore of the Un-Post ’big river branch’. The wide floodplain and the flooded fields - very suitable for fishing - can be seen from the shore stretching into the distance. The village is bordered by Siberian pine and spruce forests on three sides.

For Jugria’s indigenous people, Kaltys’jani and Muligort are primarily places of worship of the powerful and strong goddess, kăttaś-aŋkə/imə, or, in another dialect, kăʌtəś-aŋki/ĭmi ’Kaltes-mother/woman’. She is the protector of all women, who gives the soul to newborn children. Khanty and Mansi people from the farthest places of the region attend the great sacrificial ceremonies organized in her honor. The goddess is of the same rank as the two other main gods of the Ob’-Ugrians, the Upper-Heaven-Father (nŭm tǫrəm) and the Malady Spirit (χĭń). ’She is the first, the highest in rank, and although invisible, the mother of all humans, who predetermines the newborn’s life in the moment it first glimpses at the sun’ – they say about her.
