Each year on December a religious celebration is held at the site of Rumi’s tomb, to which tens of thousands of pilgrims come.
In the shrine there is a silver plated step on which the followers of Mowlana rub their foreheads and place kisses. This area is usually cordoned off but is opened for these devotional actions during the December pilgrimage festivities.
EIF aims to raise awareness of Iranian culture and helps to integrate it with other cultures in Scotland. There are seven categories (arts, books, comedy, film, food, lectures, and music) with events taking place in venues across Edinburgh.
The festival is being organized by a dedicated team of volunteers.
