The story

Khorramabad Goluni Festival in Khorramabad

Khorramabad's Goluni Festival is associated with the city's Lorestan heritage, drawing on Lur cultural identity, the landmark Falak-ol-Aflak Castle, and the region's mountain valleys and waterfalls that give the city its name, meaning pleasant abode.

Khorramabad's name, a classical Persian compound meaning pleasant or flourishing abode, reflects the valley setting that has long distinguished it from Iran's more arid interior, a scenic basin surrounded by the Zagros mountain range roughly 100 kilometers from the Iraqi border.
