The interior of the yurta has ritual significance. The right side of the yurta is generally reserved for men and the left side for women; there's special room for preparing meals, a place to do repair works and keep horse gear, etc. In the center of the yurta one finds a hearth with a cauldron ("kazan"). The place at the hearth is considered honorable and is meant for particularly respectable and distinguished guests.
