The rituals of " Talugardani "

AbstractIf a year passes in South Khorasan and it does not rain, people in some areas turn to prayers in mosques to ask for rain, then fast for three days, cook broth and make vows to give to the poor. If it does not rain again, some people, young and old, men and women, in the open air, pray for the rain and for God's mercy to come down. If the drought continues, a number of children and adolescents will gather and, in addition to the prayers of the people, perform the ritual of " Talugardani " to show the need and helplessness of the people and their demands to God. What can be deduced from the general study of the rituals of "Talugardani" is that people in times of distress bring their children to beg for rain, to be the present language of mountains and plains and deserts and cattle, which are thirsty, so that their prayers may be answered. On the other hand, it has been believed that the evildoers prevented the rain from falling with magic and sorcery through sin and evil deeds. Therefore, they have tried to invalidate those spells by performing certain actions. The author intends to examine and describe the various narratives of "Talugardani" that has obtained through field methods, by describing and analyzing them.
