Historical accounts suggest that many Georgians migrated toMazandaran, settling in areas such as Bandpey and Ashraf ol Belad (modern-dayBehshahr). It is speculated that Siyâvash may have been buried inZavarak, a district ofBandpey in Mazandaran, where ceremonies honoring Siyâvash, the legendary hero ofFerdowsi’sShahnameh, were historically held. This site, known as Siyâvashon or Sovashon, warrants further research to establish any connection, as no conclusive evidence has yet been found.
In theZavarak district near the Sovashon temple, another notable figure, Nur-Ali Khan, a painter renowned in his own time, was also buried. He died around 1780.
