Zanjiri Tekiyeh is a traditional takyeh—a Shia religious gathering space—located in Shahrud County, Iran, and designated as an Iranian National Heritage site. Built in the architectural traditions of the Safavid and Qajar periods, the structure exemplifies regional building practices through its use of locally available materials: plaster, adobe, mud, brick, and wood. Tekiyehs of this type served as important venues for communal worship, passion plays, and mourning ceremonies during the Islamic calendar. Zanjiri Tekiyeh preserves the layered architectural heritage of these two influential Iranian dynasties, reflecting the evolution of religious and cultural spaces across centuries of Persian history.
