Imamzadeh Zolfaghar Garmsar Tehran

Imamzadeh Zolfaghar

There is no precise information about the lineage and genealogy of those buried in the shrine. However, based on an inscription located next to the entrance door of the southern porch, measuring 60×30 on the wall, the buried individuals in the shrine are introduced as three persons named Prince Zolfaghar, Prince Jamshid, and Prince Kanaan, who according to local trusted sources, are attributed to the descendants of Imam Jafar Sadiq. The text of the inscription is as follows:

"Here come, in groups, the young braggarts

Blood-stained shrouds like tulips in the great sea

In search of the founder of this sorrowful oppression

A group whose ranks were broken by the passion of Karbala

At the resurrection, the ranks of women will disrupt the assembly

Success became the companion of the honor and slogan of Qanbar

Accordingly, the mourning of Prince Zolfaghar, Prince Jamshid, and Prince Kanaan was held."

"By Abbas, 1248 Lunar Hijri"

Also, some poems praising the Ahl al-Bayt are written in the margin of the inscription, the exact meaning of which is unclear.

According to a cultural heritage expert, the age of the shrine building dates back to the early Qajar period. The shrine building includes a dome, porch, and sanctuary, all made of brick, adobe, and clay, featuring a conical dome built on four elephant feet and painted green on top.
