Summary/Abstract: In the article, the belief structure of the Qashqai Turks living in Iran is discussed through the relationship between celestial beings, God and the color blue. The Qashqai Turks, who live scattered in the south of Iran, continue to see themselves as Turks and keep their Turkishness alive, despite living in a mixed geography and not receiving education in their own language. This nomadic society, which belongs to the Shiite sect of Islam, has preserved its cultural identities, languages and beliefs until today. Qashqai Turks keep the old Turkish religion and beliefs alive in every aspect of their lives. They contain many words and beliefs about the word God and the connection with the Sky God in their language, and they see the color blue as a sacred color. In Qashqai, a direct and indirect connection is established between the sky, celestial bodies, the color of the sky (blue) and God. This situation connects the Qashqai belief system to both the old Turkish belief system and the belief systems of today's Siberian Turks. The word "Gök", which means both the sky and God, is at the center of the Qashqai, belief system.
