In this article, we intend to introduce more Shahrivargan celebration and its mythical background, so stay tuned.
History of Shahrivargan celebration:
In addition to the name of each month, the calendar of ancient Iran included the name of the day. Thus, each month begins with the name of Ahuramazda and continues with his close angels to reach the other angels. In this way, when the name of the day and the name of the month became one, the people celebrated that day. The fourth day of each month was known as Shahrivar and on the 4th of September every year, the Shahrivargan celebration is held. But where did the name Shahrivargan come from? The word Shahrivar is derived from the word Khashtarviriyya, which means desirable, ideal and willful Shahriari. Khashtawiriyya is one of the close angels and is known on earth as a symbol of virtue who helped the poor, as a symbol of heavenly power and has called for greatness and glory. According to Abu Rihan al-Biruni in his book Al-Baqiyah, Fereshteh Shahrivar was a client for the precious metals and jewels of the world and helped them to remain in the world. For this reason, on the day of Shahrivargan, people went to the king and celebrated and rejoiced while congratulating him.
Throughout history, the celebration of Shahrivargan has been held by the people, especially the Iranians of central Iran and the Persians of India. Today, this celebration is also an excuse to honor Darab and Sarkhrman farmers:
Darab’s birthday
The question has probably come to your mind who Darab is? Darab is a mythical kingdom mentioned in the Shahnameh, and even according to some historians, Darab Shahnameh and Cyrus the Great are both the same and attribute this day to the birth of Cyrus, although this approach has not been confirmed by many archaeologists and historians. A group of thinkers acknowledge that in ancient times no one sought to record the date of birth and death of people, and everyone believed that if a person has done a great job in one day of life, it is worthwhile to record that day in his name. So it is possible that there is a trace of a valuable work behind the history of Shahrivargan celebration!
