2nd Meetup in Tehran held in Museum day, Nice weather and with amazing Local Guides.
This was a chance for us to have a free visit of museums and the garden of the complex. We started the meetup at 4 PM on the front door of Niavaran Palace Complex, We walked in and joined lots of people who was visiting part of the history.
First we walked to the front of "Ahmad Shah Palace" with an amazing architecture belongs to Qajar dynasty. At there we take some photos and also presented a live stream video on Instagram page of the Iran Local Guides community.
Then other friends who have delay in attending because of traffic, joined to us and we started visiting the museums step by step and were drowned in the history. That was great. We visited Ahmad Shah Palace, walked through the garden and took some photo spheres at the front of "Saheb Qaranie Palace".
Watching a traditional music and dance program and streaming it live on Instagram was other part of our visit. Many other peoples and tourists was also watching it.
After that we went to "Niavaran Private Palace" the most new part of the complex belongs to Pahlavi dynasty. There we visited many beautiful and great modern age architecture, historical Persian carpets and imperial gifts and artworks from allover the world and by top artists. We also have historical discussions with each other and described our goal as Local Guides to the staff of the complex and our goal was great and inspiring for them.
After finishing the visit, that was time to eat something and chat with each other about the map. So we went out the complex to the Niavaran Square. There was some good choice to rest a while and drink and eat. We all ordered something and started discussing about topics which are most important these days on Iran's map. That was time to harmonize our editing way and share some tips in this case.
By setting sun, it was also time for ending the meetup. So we said goodbye to each other and hopes that we continue our organized editing way on map and cooperate more with each other to make the map the best as we can.
Folk dances by dance groups from northern of Khorasan in Niavaran Palace. Kormanji Dances from Northern Khorasan
Like the old Khorasanian, Kormanji Kurds refer to dance as play, an ancient term derived from Pahlavi vacik. In their merry making the old and the youth, men and women, the rich and the poor all participate, and their dances narrate their nomadic life, life struggle, unity and their love for mocking death and reminding us of their glorious ancestors, those who considered many worthy of happiness and love.
Kormanji people migrated from Kurdistan to Northern Khorasan some centuries ago.
