Imamzadeh Taher Shamam Rudbar

The holy shrine of Imamzadeh Taher (peace be upon him) is located in the central district of Rudbar County, in the southern Rostamabad rural district, in the village of Shamam.

One of the sacred shrines of Rudbar County is the famous shrine of Imamzadeh Taher (peace be upon him) in Shamam, Rostamabad, who was a descendant of Imam Musa al-Kadhim (peace be upon him). It is situated in the central district of Rudbar County, in the mountainous area of Shamam, five kilometers from the city of Rostamabad, nestled in the heights and in a pleasant climate area. Every year, many pilgrims from various places visit this holy site and benefit from its spiritual blessings.

The holy shrine of Imamzadeh Taher (peace be upon him) has a brick facade and is two stories tall. The building has a silver dome and two golden-colored finials, and there is a cemetery in the courtyard of the shrine.

The village of Shamam and the surroundings of Imamzadeh Taher (peace be upon him) are pristine, traditional, and interesting rural environments. In one corner of the courtyard, there is a path leading downward covered with lush plants, where shepherds bring their sheep to graze. On the left side of the courtyard, a small blue dome is seen above a cold water fountain. The ruins of old houses and destroyed walls, which are the effects of the 1990 earthquake, can be seen around. After the devastating earthquake of 1990, the residents of Shamam village moved to the city of Rostamabad and settled there. However, in memory of the good old days before the earthquake and out of love for this beautiful village, in recent years we have witnessed the rebuilding of houses by the people of Shamam in this village.

The people have great faith in this Imamzadeh.
