Kelardasht / Kalardasht Rugs

Guide to Kelardasht / Kelardasht Rugs & Carpets

Background

Kalardasht is in Mazanderan province near Roodbarak. The area has an enclave of Northern Kurds. Northern Kurdish is also called Kurmanji, Kurmancî, Kirmancî, Kermancî, Kurdi, or Kurdî.

Kelardasht Mazandaran province

Based on the rugs and the cluster of Northern Kurds around Kelardasht I suspect that these are refugees pushed out of the Caucasus in the 19th and early 20th century. These are probably the lost Karabagh Kurds.
