History
According to legend, from the touch of the staff of Nasir Khosrov (1004-1088) in the village grew three junipers , which are the object of worship of local residents [1] [5] .
The kishlak is very ancient, the ruins of the fortress, which served as a refuge, have been preserved, since the kishlak in the past has been repeatedly attacked by the Kirghiz. Kirghiz made their way to the village along the gorge of the river Bardara, robbed and took away women.
According to the captain of the General Staff Sergei Vannovsky , who led the reconnaissance party in 1893 in the Bartang region, the population of three villages (Badurt, Bardar and Basid villages) for 3-4 months of work was hardly washed up to 100 grams of gold , which they paid to pay Afghans [ 6] [7] .
On December 7, 2015, the village suffered from an earthquake measuring 7-8 points with an epicenter 22 kilometers from Lake Sarez . At least one house was completely destroyed in the village [8] [9] .
In the winter of 2016–2017, the village was isolated and suffered because of abnormal cold and snowfall [10] [11] .
Funeral rites and customs
Pre -Islamic remnants remain in the customs and rites of the Bartangans associated with death and burial . Food is being taken out of the house of the dying man. Until the ceremony of cleansing is performed, on the third day of the funeral they do not cook or eat at the house of the deceased. This prohibition is observed only in a few places in Bartang ( Roshorv , Yapshorv , Bardara). The ban is associated with the idea of leaving the body of the dead invisible blood - the material manifestation of two human souls - "Ruh" and "John", which fills the house. The religion of Zoroastrianism is the idea that everything that is separated from a living organism is dead and unclean [12] . In the village of Bardara, on the third day of the funeral after dinner, the hotam — the assistant to the caliphs (healer) beheads the cleansing sacrifice — the rooster and throws him into the place where the body of the deceased lay — the main bunks in the house. The bird beats its wings for a while, raising dust and splashing blood, thus cleans the place from filth [13] .
