Maman joo ( Dear mam)

A carpet cleaning ceremony is held every year in Kashan. This is Iran's national registration ceremony. This ceremony is a symbol of the carpet on which one of the Imamzades of Muslims was killed. The person who is standing next to the carpet is calling his mother to hear the sound of the religious ceremony.
