At the back of Ditavan rises a rock, which the residents call “Qar” or Chechaqar, symbolizing Ditavan. There is a tradition that certain natural phenomena are associated with “Qar.” For instance, hail rarely falls in the village, which the villagers believe is because “Qar” draws it away.
Chechaqar is the highest point in the community, where a metal cross has been erected through the community’s efforts. Chechaqar got its name due to the checha-like stones typical of that area. From Chechaqar, there is a picturesque view of Ditavan and the neighboring communities. It is located on a forested height. The path leading to Chechaqar passes through the community and then through the forest.
The project is implemented within the framework of the EU4Culture program “we are our mountains”, funded by the European Union. The project is being implemented by the Municipality of Ijevan and the Urban Sustainable Development Fund.
