Information:

Gara Pirim, which existed since 1501, was considered a famous sacred place. Blood flowed when he broke a branch of a Yulgun tree in the courtyard of the fur­nace (according to legend, a man named Sultan broke a branch of this Yulgun tree and brought it home, saw that blood was flowing from the tree, and took it to the mullah. The mullah said to take it on its pla­ce, you will suffer great damage. Soon the man's daughter Gamar falls into the tandoor and burns, and man himself goes to war and never returns). It was a pla­ce of faith and sanctuary for the Sar­van­lar and Soyug-bulag communities. The toponym Kangarli was formed on the basis of the ethnonym of Sarvanlar, an ancient Turkic tribe 38,39. It is an ethno­toponym. It is a simple toponym in structure.

The name of the village Sar­vanlar has exis­ted since 1501. In statistical da­ta, only Azer­baija­nis lived in the village re­gis­tered under the name of Uliya Sarvanlar
