Mongolia – Mangala?
Posted by satyask on September 15, 2008
Genghis Khan (Mongol) was a worshipper of the sky. I hear that the skies are really a deep blue in Mongolia.
“Mongols call themselves Mangal and a Ghilzai tribe is called Mangal in Paktia” ……… from http://afghanprofile.net/index.php?Itemid=28&id=29&option=com_content&task=view#Content
Mangala means auspicious in Sanskrit.. it also means the planet Mars.

Mongolia is a steppe land – called the land of the blue sky because they have 250 sunny days in a year., a very short spring and a rainy season.
