The Dari -Behdini Zoroastrian proverbs of Iran and its impact on Zoroastrian needlework art

Art is always the embodiment of the culture. Zoroastrians have always had a friendly life with other compatriots. Because of their particular livelihoods, they have shaped their subculture. The Zoroastrian subculture has resulted in the formation of the proverbs of the Dari language. The main question of this research is the reasons for inventing this art under the influence of Dari Behdini proverbs.Zartošti dūzi is the old and traditional name of Zoroastrian needlework. Existence of proverbs in the Qajar period is one of the main reasons for the formation of this art. The main purpose of this article is to find similarities in the repetition of the names of domestic animals, water (fish) and plants (cypress tree and flower) between Zoroastrian proverbs and needlework. Because Dari's proverbs and dialects are part of oral culture and literature, information is gathered in the form of field interviews and library practices. Sewing was done on silk fabrics and when the fabrics are matched together, they are called them "Tir O Sikh".Tiro Sikh fabrics were made for women's clothing and these were adorned with Zartošti dūzi, which were often worn in traditional or ritual ceremonies. The interrelationship of proverbs with the motifs of this art is evident even in the repetition of symbols of domestic animals. Repetition of the names of domestic animals that helped humans in the lives of farmers and ranchers can also be seen in this art (Zoroastrian needlework). Zoroastrian art of embroidery is very similar to the Dari- Behdini proverbs.
