Qalishuyan rituals of Mashhad-e Ardehal in Kashan

Qalishuyan rituals of Mashhad-e Ardehal in Kashan

October 3, 2008 , IRAN , ESFAHAN

People attend at the Qalishuyan religious ceremony in Mashhad-e Ardehal, Kashan, Iran. Qalishuyan rituals are practiced in Iran to honor the memory of Soltan Ali, a holy figure among the people of Kashan and Fin. According to legend, he was martyred, and his body found and carried in a carpet to a stream, where it was washed and buried by the people of Fin and Xave. Today, Soltan Ali mausoleum is the site of a ritual where a carpet is washed in the holy stream by a huge gathering. It takes place on the nearest Friday to the seventeenth day of the month of Mehr, according to the solar-agricultural calendar.
