Remnants of Ancient Rituals and Festivities in Hooraman
and Kurdistan
Abstract
Is one of the important centers of Iranian civilization with an ancient history and cultural background. The meanings of the tradition are unknown to researchers, but local people still remember some aspects of it. As mythology, rituals, and celebrations, of any nation, reflect the longevity of that nation's culture and identity, many of the rituals and customs of the Kurdish people are rooted in the culture and history of ancient Iran. This study investigates remnants of ancient tradition including Hooraman Pir Shaliar's wedding celebration; the bokeh ceremony (rain wedding) and Bebel Daneh custom. The article focuses on the relationship between the common customs in Hooraman and the ancient Iranian tradition by a descriptive-analytical method. The author argues that the celebration of Pirshalyar is not a wedding ceremony in honor of a religious figure, but a remnant of a celebration called Jashn e-Sadeh [Century Festivity], but gradually over the history it was interpreted as an Islamic ceremony. Bokeh ceremonies and prayers are associated with the celebration of Tishter's victory over the demon of drought. Finally, Bebel Daneh with its symbols and elements is a remnant of rural-agricultural celebrations of the ancient Iranians.
