"Kөрісу күні" is one of the traditional holidays of the Kazakh people, celebrated in the early days of spring, usually at the beginning of March. The main purpose of this day is to strengthen relationships between people, forget grievances, and reconcile. This day is particularly important for both the older generation and the youth, as on this day, relatives, neighbors, and friends meet with each other, exchange wishes of happiness, express respect, and thus strengthen their bonds.

There are several special traditions related to Kөрісу күні:

"Kөрісу": On this day, people visit each other, greet one another with a handshake, and exchange kind wishes. The word "kөрісу" in Kazakh means "to meet and be safe."

"Giving gifts to each other": On this day, people often exchange small gifts, which helps to strengthen friendship and affection.

"Good wishes": On Kөрісу күні, not only are wishes exchanged, but people also express their hopes for a future full of happiness and prosperity.

This day holds great significance in the social life of the Kazakh people, as it strengthens mutual respect and promotes harmony within society.
