The sunset Naqqare

In the past, a certain ceremony was held at the Naqshe Jahan Square. This special ceremony of the sunset time was a remainder of the times before Islam and the religion of the Magi.

A soon as the Abbasi great Mosque turned from blue to violet with the last rays of the setting sun, the Naqqares would start playing from the Naqqareh Khaneh. The Naqqareh Khaneh was beside the Qeisaryeh gate. There were drums and long trumpets in there that could only be seen in India.
