REPORTAGE - Iran: Bachtiaren Nomaden
Old Enthusiastic Lady, Traditional Bakhtiari Wedding In The Countryside In The Region of Ab Bid, Khuzestan Province, IRAN - 11/04/2017.
Bakhtiaris are a tribe of ca. 1 million people who live in the Zagros mountains. They have been able to keep their civilization intact through mostly marrying within their own tribe.
At the beginning of the wedding ceremony, guests dance in a big circle to the sound of drums and trumpets, women and men together, most of them wearing traditional Bakhtiari clothes.
Men wear a costume composed of a felt cap (kolah), a shirt and vest, long trousers of varying degrees of fullness, and sandals (giveh). Typical male costume is the chuqa, a straight, knee-length, sleeveless tunic of natural white wool with vertical indigo stripes. The trousers (shalwlar-e Dabit) constitute are the most distinctive part of Bakhtiari male dress: they are black and cut very wide (120 cm around the leg).
Women are dressed in traditional Bakhtiari costumes which consist of a headdress, a knee-length dress slit on the sides with long sleeves and a long, colourful, 8 to 10 m long several-layered full skirt gathered around the waist. Skirts are paired with separate shirts and matching vests or shawls. Long scarves and head wraps are also commonly worn with ornaments or hand-stitched designs sewn in.
After a few hours, the bride and the groom arrive in a car. They are greeted by the crowd and blessed with the Quran and incense by older women. They sit on chairs and the crowd gathers around them.
