Even Hafez Shirazi, the renowned Iranian poet, has mentioned Karan Garden in his poems: “Although hundreds of rivers flow from my eyes constantly / I remember the Zendeh-Roud and Karan Garden with delight”
The news of the flood had reached the people. Everyone flocked to the Zayandeh Roud to watch it. A strange mass of people had formed all along the banks of the river.
In the ancient Iranian calendar, the thirteenth day of the month of Tir was named “Tirgan,” in honour of “Tishtar,” the rain-bringing star.
