Rituals of rural Iran

Many researchers have studied Iran's rural communities looking into their rites and rituals. Some say Iranians have mixed Islam with Zorastrianism and created Shia't religion. Since Safavis (around 1500 A.C.) the majority of Iranians have been Shia't.

In a country size of Western Europe, where nearly 1000 different dialects are spoken and 10's of different tribes live together, many rituals are still influenced by anciant Pagan faith of the Arian invadors and the anciant local residents of Iran.
