Siavash Statue

Siavash Statue

The statue of Siavash and his horse in Ab-o-Atash Park is inspired by the Shahnameh and Persian epic literature, as well as the purity of this national hero. According to the Shahnameh, Siavash, the son of King Kaykaus, resists the advances of his stepmother Sudabeh, who becomes infuriated and accuses him of impropriety to his father. Following the advice of the priests, King Kaykaus orders a trial by fire to prove innocence; Sudabeh refuses to enter the fire, but Siavash, with confidence, steps into the flames and emerges unscathed, thus proving his innocence.

The inclusion of this national and mythical story in the park, along with its connection to the story of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS), led to the creation of a statue of this hero and his horse in the park. Siavash's bravery and his role as the commander of the Iranian army against Afrasiyab are symbolized in the statue, positioned as if holding a flag tower.

The statue, located after the main square of Ab-o-Atash Park and approximately opposite the amphitheater, is made of metal with beautiful engravings and stands on a stone base.
