Abstract

Rituals are among the most significant human legacies in societies. Nakhl-gardani is an ancient Iranian ritual, which affected by Shiʻ i culture after the arrival of Islam to Iran. Objects are the essential components of the rituals, and Nakhl, the pivotal object of Nakhl-gardani, should be properly protected and respected as a cultural and historical heritage. The prelude of this protection is to recognize the features, values, and functions of the Nakhls, therefore, the purpose of this study is to recognize the Nakhl functions as a ritual object. The research materials include written sources, field observations, and interviews. The findings of the research show that Nakhl, as a ritual and cultural object, carries out functions related to belief, as well as symbolic and memorial functions. It transmits indigenous knowledge and conveys Iranian traditions and customs as well.
