Zoorkhaneh is a place to gain strength, reinforce the virtues
of sportsmanship, modesty, humbleness and avoid arrogance. Zoorkhaneh sports
are done in a roofed area; the building resembles ancient temples or cellars.
The entrance is smaller than usual doors. The rood is high and domed, like a
mosque. “The Gowd”, the hollow, deeper area in the middle of the Zoorkhaneh, is
where the sports are done. The Zoorkhaneh being a sacred place, there only the
chest, pure, modest, the morally and bodily clean men; and those men who are
free from evil thoughts come together. Nazanin, a skilled member of Uppersia tour
guide team, suggested the guests from France to watch this curious workout
routine in Shiraz.
