A ceremony was held, to which many notable Iranian and European scholars were invited. It was one of the most important cultural events of the century.
The design of the tomb combines the style of Persepolis and Cyrus the Great’s tomb in Pasargad. The structure can be divided into three sections. The middle section holds the marble gravestone measuring 1.5 x 1 x 0.5 meter. It’s situated in the center of a platform. The second section is a square hall also made of marble and decorated with tiles. Inside, it has four tall pillars with two large columns at the corners. The southern side of the main building is covered with carvings of men with wings, which is the style of Persepolis. The third area contains a marble staircase leading to the room where Ferdowsi’s poetries are engraved on the wall.

His life and poems have been the subject of much analysis, commentary and interpretation, influencing post-fourteenth century Persian writing more than any other author.

Pink Mosque_Mosque of colours_Nasir al molk mosque
Mostly known as the “Pink Mosque”, it is also called the “Mosque of colours,” the “Rainbow Mosque” or the “Kaleidoscope Mosque”. This is a space where light and worship intertwine. The mosque comes to life with the sunrise and colours dance throughout the day like whirling dervishes. It reflects on the ground, walls, the arches and the towering spires. It even reflects on the visitors as if a colourful ball is hit by the first sun ray and explodes to thousands of butterflies all around.The original name of the mosque in Persian is Masjed-e Naseer ol Molk. Wikipedia mentions it as an ordinary Iranian mosque; however, the interior hides an impressive piece of architecture and design.
Built by the order from one of the lords of the Qajar Dynasty, Mirza Hasan ‘Ali Nasir al-Mulk, it took 12 years to complete in 1888. Its interior reveals a magnificent masterpiece of design with stunning colours.
The designers Muhammad Hasan-e-Memar and Muhammad Reza Kashi Paz-e-Shirazi used extensively stained glass on the façade and other traditional elements such as panj kāseh-i (five concaves), which create a breath taking effect of the interior like standing in a kaleidoscope. Once the sunlight hits the stained glass, the entire building is flooded by a vibrant rainbow of colours. In popular culture, the mosque is also called Pink Mosque, because its tiles are beautifully decorated with a pre-eminently pinkish rose colour
