Abstract

    It is similar to the reading or ta'ziyeh of authentic Iranian art created to disseminate the culture and concepts of Ashura centuries after the real Ashura. A phenomenon that results from a combination of Islamic thought and doctrine and Islamic teachings can be explored in different aspects. There are many ambiguities and questions about the formation of this theatrical ritual, including what we see today as ta'ziyeh or similitude for the first time in history? The Safavid, Afsharid, Zand, and Qajar periods are the most likely courses that have drawn contradictory opinions from experts. Finding the answer to this question will first show the antiquity of this theatrical ritual and secondly prove the Iranian authenticity of the art against the assumption that it is imitative from the West. A review of the expert opinion, historical documents and reports, and tourists' travelogues in this study will guide us to the end of Zand era in a library and analytical and descriptive manner to answer this question.
