This era is an important part of the history of the Hawraman region and had a great influence on the language and culture of its people.
Hawraman is a mountainous and ancient region in the middle of the Zagros mountains. Its people are known for their own language, culture and customs, and have preserved this heritage for hundreds of years.
The villages are built in steps on the slopes of the mountains, with houses standing on the roofs of one another. This style of architecture has become a symbol of the region and brings thousands of visitors here every year.
Daily life in the villages is based on farming, animal husbandry and handicrafts. In autumn people gather fruit and wheat and prepare for the long winter.
A language that is not written is forgotten.
Songs and music are an important part of social life. Every ceremony, from weddings to the Nowruz festival, is decorated with the sound of the daf, the tambour and old songs.
Preserving this heritage is a duty for all of us. In 2024 several projects began to record the oral stories and old documents of Hawraman and its surroundings.
