The Messenger | March 25, 2007 3:23PM I would associate hooka pipes with Hashish (cannabis) smoking but I suppose they are smoking tobacco - though one lad looks as though it were opium knocking him out.
Whatever; it is a comfortable looking place for friends to relax. The colored glass etc. gives it a magical light.
Tima | March 27, 2007 2:16AM Yaaaay - now we get to see Tehran through your eyes again :-) What a delight. Is this ghahveh-khooneh in downtown somewhere. It's been 12 years sine I was there last :-( Show us everything, the good and the bad. Hi to all - T
Maziar | April 10, 2007 5:08PM Kami, I think the picture hanging in the center is of that famous Iranian wrestler, do you remember his name?
I've heard that zoorkhaneh practices are shrinking in Iran, that's sad, it is a great tradition. Hope they keep it up.
Kamyar| April 10, 2007 5:48PM That's right Maziar, it’s a picture of Jahan Pahlevan Takhti. And you are right about the Zorkhaneh practices shrinking in Iran. It’s very sad indeed.
Zorkhaneh pictures coming soon.
