Tpig

Tpig is an Agul village in the mountains of southern Dagestan, among the valleys north of the Samur. The Aguls are one of the region's many peoples, with a language related to those of their Lezgi and Rutul neighbors. A local chronicle mentions Tpig alongside Richa and Usug when recounting the adoption of Islam by Agul communities. The village's congregational mosque bears witness to that religious tradition, which joined these mountain settlements to a wider Muslim world.
