The Safavid Era is one of the most important historical eras in Iran. During this era, rituals with Shiite content are particularly valued by the rulers due to Shia enforcement as the official religious branch in Iran. Mourning tradition and dasteh-gardani (arrangement of group mourning rituals) for the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) held in Muharram were among these rituals which were specifically developed during the Safavid Dynasty. Certain transformations and features emerge in mourning rituals during this era, which seem to be inspired by the political structure of the Safavid Era. The present study is carried out to answer how the components of the political structure during the Safavid Era are reflected in mourning rituals. The research methodology is historical and the result is indicative of the fact that group mourning rituals of Muharram served as a suitable medium for strengthening the foundations of Safavid government, taking into account the profound ideological and national beliefs and devotion of Shias expressed to their third Imam.
