According to legend, Baiterek is the tree of life, to which the sacred bird Samruk strives. She takes refuge in its high crown to lay a golden egg - the Sun, which gives life and hope. Meanwhile, a hungry dragon Aidahar lurked at the roots of the tree, wanting to eat an egg. This is how the eternal struggle between good and evil is presented. The World River also flows here, on the banks of which Baiterek stands, propping up the sky with its crown, and holding the earth with its roots. The significance of Baiterek, as a symbol of a new stage in the life of the Kazakh people, is emphasized by the artistic composition "Ayaly Alakan", with the imprint of the President's right hand, located at a height of 97 meters, which symbolizes 1997 - the year of proclamation of Astana as the new capital of the state and, accordingly, a new starting point in history of the country. The height of the structure is 97 meters, with a ball crowning the structure - 105 meters. Ball diameter 22 meters
