Taftan snow and black and white tents

Snowfall in Taftan, Sistan and Baluchestan, covered the peaks and heights of this semi-active volcanic mountain range with “black tents” of villagers and nomads in the region. It is associated with villagers and nomads, especially black nomads. And is oblivion.
Perhaps we see this house of Baluch nomads in the not so distant past only during Nowruz at the entrance of some cities of Baluchistan and it makes every traveler curious to pause for a moment and rest for a few minutes in the shade of a barn, and maybe without the past and The history of the warehouse and the settlers should get information and continue on their way.

Karim Bakhsh Kurdi Tamandani, a native researcher and researcher of Khash, explained the background of the black tent (Gadam) and said: “Gadam is not only a traditional and indigenous refuge for us, but also a symbol of self-sufficiency in hard life, effort, living with purity and intimacy and earning a halal living.” And is clean.
Although today Gadam has become an attraction for tourists and travelers of Nowruz, but there are many stories of people who spent years in a corner of the desert with dignity and in peace and tranquility in the shadow of Gadam.
Kurdi Tamandani added: “It was in Gadam that the forgotten words such as” resurrection, Peter, bowl and ransom, covenant and word, covenant, tribulation, coup d’etat, etc. “found meaning in a word of honesty and humanity.
Gadam never closed the door on the guest and its inhabitants were not imprisoned in the fence and frame of the wall, and although Gadam was black, its inhabitants had a heart for the purity of humanity and the whiteness of snow.
In the neighborhood, a hungry cattle lay on the bed, and the simple food cooked in it spread a tablecloth generously.

And all the dwellers felt that they belonged to the same family, and that they shared in the sorrows and joys.
His men were believers, resistant to the problems of the times, his wives and daughters were clean and polite, and in the spring he was raised so high in the plains and deserts that he gave life to the plains and deserts, and a commotion arose from his efforts. And striving to obtain a lawful and pure day.
And today, for people who are tired and depressed from the life of an apartment prison, sitting in a cage for a moment gives people a sense of freedom and liberation from the soulless life of a car, and introduces Nowruz travelers to a corner of our culture to know this. There were cattlemen who, in the harsh conditions of life, successfully experienced the resistance economy we are talking about today, not years but centuries ago.
But although the efforts of the loved ones who choose and introduce the coffin as a symbol of the past life of these people are praiseworthy and appreciated, what may have been forgotten is portraying a coffin based on its facts, I wish we could have set up the coffin while We designed the life and decoration of the barn to be natural and as it was, so that both the passengers and the new generation would have more information than before.

In any case, with the departure of Nowruz, Gadam may gather and the only image of it will remain in the minds of travelers who sat in Gadam for a while or took a few souvenir photos, but we should know that Gadam is a symbol of resistance to life problems, generosity and hospitality. Cooperation, humanity and love, effort, togetherness and empathy and many good things that the new generation is distancing themselves from it.
And maybe in the not too distant future we will not even have a step to climb at the entrance of the city and just enjoy the pictures and writings about the walk, or maybe we will be so fascinated by city and apartment life that walking is not a matter of pride. Let us not be proud, but let us be ashamed and deny the life in the barn of our ancestors.
Every year and on the eve of the New Year and Black Nowruz, tents to welcome guests at the entrances of cities and rural areas of Khash city with the aim of introducing the capacities and capabilities of the region and show hospitality and simple and clean life of the Baluch people stand next to it Exhibitions of handicrafts will be set up, and with the performance of local music and indigenous sports, Baluchi dance, the sale of herbal medicines, as well as the reception of guests with local and indigenous food, pleasant moments will be recorded for the guests.
