Description

In the Turkic-Tatar mythology 366 (according to other sources — 40) invisible saints — spirits living in caves (sometimes houses), patrons of epic batyrs, according to later ideas — people in general.

Usually they were represented in the image of white-bearded elders, each of whom had his own name. They should have prayed and made sacrifices. Over time, gayb irenner began to be associated with Muslim mythology, attributing to them some of the qualities of angels.
