The Bolandy Anahita fashion show was held on May 11th, 2022, in Fishekhane, Istanbul, Turkey. Featuring designs inspired by the goddess Anahita
Anahita, symbol of Iranian women, is the goddess of pure water. Ardwisara Anahita is the name of a mythical river and the most beautiful and shining star in the sky (Nahid). Iranians believe that Nahid is a morning star arising from the Hooker Mountain with Anahita River in the same route, one passes through the sky and the other on the earth, both pouring into the Vourukasha heavenly sea. Anahita, an Iranian goddess riding a chariot drawn by four horses named “wind”, “rain”, “clouds” and “sleet”, she holds Barsom in her hand and wears square golden earrings with a necklace, a golden crown with eight crenellations, is the sacred guardian of streams (pure water). Anahita was the purifier of water, male sperm, and refiner of the female womb and the circulator of milk in the breasts of all mothers.
We are the guardian of all the water around the world.
