In Iranian culture Zoorkhaneh is a sacred place where the physical activity is combined by music and literature. Zoorkhaneh is the house of strength not only for the body but also for the soul and spirit. Having strong morality, devotion, and honorary manner is as important as having a strong body.
Pahlevani is an Iranian traditional sport dating back to Zoroastrianism that athletes train rigorously with live music and poems of Shahnameh, the masterpiece epic book of Ferdowsi.
Iran celebrates National Zoorkhane Day on June 9th to show that Pahlevani is not only about the physical fitness but also courtesy and generosity.
