In pictures: The colours of a traditional Kurdish wedding in Khorasan
The Kurds of north Khorasan, on the Iran-Tajikistan border, preserve their culture and folklore through traditional weddings.
Women wear their colourful traditional outfits and everyone joins in the dance.
Kurdish tribes moved to the Khorasan region during the Safavian Dynasty, in either 1598 AD or 1602 AD.
According to the cultural and civil society of Khorasani Kurds (CSKK), there are currently about 2 million Kurds living in Khorasan, 60% in villages, 35% in cities and 5% are nomadic, known as koçberî. The majority speak the Kurmanji dialect of the Kurdish language.
