According to legend, a beautiful girl grew up in a poor family. Somehow the evil noyon saw this girl and fell in love with her. The girl was in love with the Khan's son. Evil Noyon ordered his soldiers to kidnap the girl. The son of the khan, brave Tazhy, after learning about this, gathered his army and went to war with Noyon. In an unequal battle, a small army of brave Tazhy was defeated, and the son of Khan was killed. And the girl, learning about the death of her beloved, fled from captivity, but was surrounded by the pursuers of the noyon on Mount Shiveelig-Dag. From desperation, the girl rushed from the mountain. At the site of its fall, a stone appeared like a split heart.
