Rosewater Distillation in Iran’s Niyasar

IQNA – As the damask roses bloom on the mountainous slopes of Niyasar in central Iran, the age-old ritual of rosewater distillation was once again carried out with its customary grandeur and purity.

It is a tradition deeply rooted in the local culture, reflecting the community’s way of life and embodying their faith, hard work, and connection with nature. During this fragrant season, the cauldrons boil, and the heavenly scent of the roses fills the air of Niyasar.
