Information

The village of Qezelbolagh is rich in historical monuments and has the most shrines in the Goycha mahal and Basar­kecher region. The religious monument Gosha Pir, located 12 km southeast of the village, was one of the places visited by residents of the village and surround­ding areas. Those who came to the Pir made intentions, made vows and made sacrifices. Such shrines as the places of the Gosha feast were considered a source of mental and spiritual consolation for those who came to visit, a source of affection for the homeland and land 51.
