The Role of Belief and Religion in Creation of Persian Garden

Persian gardens embody the profound Iranian cultural ideal of harmony between nature and humanity, rooted in deep religious and spiritual beliefs. These gardens serve as tangible representations of paradise, reflecting a universal vision that transcends mere physical beauty, blending historical, religious, and poetic elements into an idealized natural environment. Unlike Western literary depictions, Persian gardens symbolize the sublimation of reality through lush landscapes, flowers, and poetic imagery, creating a spiritual connection to nature. The study highlights how these gardens have evolved over centuries as both physical spaces and inner metaphors, integrating customs, poetry, and spiritual traditions into their design and significance.
