have you ever heard about *KURSI*???

a kursi is from olden times in IR when there hadn't been heating at home not yet, only furnace fired by wood, it was common to use a KURSI! this means a table with a plate under it full of glowing wood, and over all they met a blanket, and people sitting around met their legs under the blanket and it was such a cozy place at winter eves!!!!! after daily work kursi was a kind of gathering the family together and all in one place to meet each other and have a very nice time. the sitting place of the family members belongs to their role in the family; the elder member of the family must sit on the side where is the most far place to the door, and the smallest member should be close to the door.

in an ancient palace from qajar era of niavaran palace ensemble (sahebgaran) even the last empress farah had met an original kursi in a special traditional furnitured room, and when they had official guests of the greatest leaders of the world, they invited them always for one eve for kursi and it was always so amazing for them all!!!!!!

    In Holland würde man sagen "heel gezellig". ;-)
    Das fördert wohl nicht nur den Wärmeaustausch, sondern auch nähe. Muss ich mir merken!

    nein, das war mir bisher unbekannt.
    das war wohl ein kuscheliges plätzchen, der dazu noch als familienzusammenhalt diente.
    und dem kursi wurde hier ein denkmal gesetzt.
    kennt im IR heute noch jeder den kursi?

    glg!
