What it means

A humorous collage compares traditional yurts associated with Bashqort, Karakalpak, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Turkish, and Turkmen cultures. The joke comes from the wildly different, sometimes surreal designs—including a Hello Kitty yurt and a galaxy-covered yurt—while labeling each with its local name.
