Fala 
        is the representative of God in the world, whose function is to deliver 
        the God’s expression and pick up the sacrificial offerings. This is similar 
        to the “Tianzi” in ancient society, while Tianzi was the son of the god, 
        who governed the world on behalf of his father. If human broke his rule, 
        they would be thrown into the hell. In the past, feudal landlord ruled 
        the people through Fala to maintain their status. In modern society, this 
        religious tradition is kept.  
         
        Fala dance 
        is the last program in Nadun carnival. In Turkish, Fala means the representative 
        of God, and also the medium of human beings and god. He decorated himself 
        with steel sword and puncheons. When he gets extremely excited, his body 
        is taken over by a supernatural spirit. And then, he danced towards sacrificial 
        offerings, touched them by sword and declared to villagers that the god 
        has received the offerings and he will bless them in the next year. At 
        that time, all the people cheer at god’s blessing and transfer the divine 
        sedan to the next village.       |
