overview
Mehregan, or Mehr Festival, is the second largest Persian festival after Nowruz, and has been held annually on October 1-2 for more than 4000 recorded years. The philosophy of Mehregan belongs to the worship of ancient Persian Gods, meaning Mehr and Mitra, a thanksgiving for the blessings by the Gods to human beings to expand friendship, affection, love and honesty between all the people. In the Persian language, "Mehr, Mehregan, and Mitra" literally mean: Love, Friendship, Affection and Light. Mehregan, like Nowruz, has a cosmic aspect, too. A balance between the amount of daylight and evening hours happens in Iran during the first days of Fall. This phenomenon is illustrated in usage of dark indigo color as symbol of the night sky, and the turquoise color as a symbol of the shining, blue, daylight sky — both symbols are rolled out across the design equally to represent this balance. The khaki color in the background of Mehregan represents the identity of the Iranian nation and it’s people — the khaki color is very visible in many historical sites across Iran, especially in Yazd, where Zoroastrianism, the oldest Iranian religion, originated.

care
When storing a rug (especially a heavy winter one), have it professionally cleaned and wrapped before storing in a climate-controlled area to avoid damage. If exposed to direct sunlight, rug colors typically fade over time, even if they are fade resistant. Clean spills immediately. Once a stain is set, it becomes much more difficult to clean. When pet hair accumulates in a rug, brush the rug vigorously with a stiff clothes brush or utility brush.
