Description
"Zoorkhaneh Dar Iran" by Mehdi Abolhasani Targhi delves into the world of traditional Iranian sport known as Zoorkhanei or Pahlevani. This book explores the historical roots and cultural significance of these ancient physical and combat movements, traditionally practiced in the Zoorkhaneh pit accompanied by rhythmic chants, melodies, and the percussive beat of a leader. In addition to covering the physical aspects of Zoorkhanei, the book likely delves into Pahlevani wrestling, a form of wrestling practiced within the Zoorkhaneh. The global recognition of the Pahlevani and Zoorkhanei rituals is underscored by their inscription on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010.
