Description
The "Seven Girls" fountain is one of the main attractions of Ufa and was opened in the summer of 2015 in the reconstructed Theater Square, which is the main place for recreation and walking in the city center. This fountain is the largest structure of its type in the Republic of Bashkortostan and includes two bowls lined with granite, as well as sculptures of girls rising on pedestals.
Each of the girl sculptures is 2.2 meters high and weighs from 500 to 700 kg. The creation of each of them took about six months, and the cost ranged from 2 to 7 million rubles. The work of creating the sculptures was entrusted to the talented sculptor and Honored Artist of Bashkortostan Hanif Khabibrakhmanov. His task was to convey the national facial features, emotions and character of each of the girls.
The "Seven Girls" fountain is based on the sad Bashkir legend "Ete kyz" ("Seven Girls"). The legend tells about seven beautiful sisters who were kidnapped by invaders, but did not accept their fate and, overcoming the pain, ran away to the steppe. The pursuit of them led to the fact that they entered the raging sea and disappeared, and the seven stars of the constellation Ursa Major sparkled in the sky, symbolizing their eternal freedom.
The Seven Girls Fountain is open to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, it is especially recommended to visit during the musical accompaniment and broadcast of the dance “Seven Girls” with landscape photographs of Bashkortostan in order to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Bashkir legends. The musical performance lasts about an hour and a half and includes Bashkir folk songs in modern arrangements, as well as melodies from popular performances.
