The 65-year-old The Rouhangiz grandmother is from the village of Shah Millerzan above the forested mountains of Talash, one of the northern cities of Iran. Shah Millarzan is the farthest village of Talesh, which has a difficult path. The people of this village live together in this place because of Imamzadeh Shah Millarzan (who is said to be the brother of the eighth Imam of Muslims, Imam Reza (a.s.)). The spirited grandmother is known as the mother of Shah Millerzan village. He wakes up early in the morning and works until late at night when everyone is asleep.His wife, Mesh Ramadan, is busy reciting the Quran and praying over the graves and earns money in this way.The Rouhangiz grandmother is the mother of 4 daughters and 2 sons and they all live together. The humidity of Shah Millerzan's air caused him to suffer from rheumatism; However, he has set up the only shop in the village in the basement of their house in order to earn for himself.Tourists and photographers know him well and visit their house on different days, especially Muharram (the days of mourning for the Third Imam of Shiites). Renting a house, cooking, cleaning, etc. are the things that the spirited grandmother does for a living.This devoted and kind woman is always with a small phone, she is in contact with photographers and guests and is constantly informed about their condition.
