Description

"Mashayekh" winds "Zar Ceremony" is a spine-chilling ritual performed in the southern regions of Iran, particularly in Hormozgan and Qeshm Island. This ceremony aims to rid people of evil spirits and ghosts believed to inhabit their bodies. According to local beliefs, an otherworldly wind or Jinn traverses the sea waves, penetrating human bodies in various ways along the southern coast. When conventional treatments fail, those who remain unwell are thought to have become "Havai," with a demon or ghost taking residence within them. To restore their health, the Zar ceremony is conducted, accompanied by music, creating a mesmerizing exorcism. While the Zaar ceremony originated in Africa, the Iranian rendition showcases its own distinctive style, setting it apart from North African traditions. Zar, in the Persian language, signifies a state of chaos. In a figurative sense, it refers to a supernatural being found in the southern regions of Iran and along the Persian Gulf coastline. In the southern regions of Iran, particularly Qeshm Island, there is a belief in the presence of winds that can be categorized as either vicious or peaceful, associated with being a believer or non-believer. The latter category, including Zar, is considered more dangerous. According to local beliefs, individuals who fall ill and cannot be cured through conventional means are thought to be afflicted by genies or wandering souls. Consequently, special celebrations accompanied by music are organized to facilitate their healing. _ 🗨️ Mashayekh Wind: This wind category includes both safe and pure winds, as well as dangerous ones. They are often found abundantly along coasts. ___ ✳️ This photo was taken with Canon 70D camera , in 2024 📷 Photographer: ArashSahra - Description: www.eavartravel.com/blog/2023/12/5/140751/zar-ceremony - Dimensions: 3531*1765 [ 2*1 ] ( jpg ) - Location: Shiraz, Iran License Extended Editorial: Can be used to display privately, or in commerical settings, or in groups with an unlimited number of participants.
