Nahid, Manifestation of Holiness or Fancy

Abstract

Anahit (Nahid), Iranian goddess, is the manifestation of chastity. Although but she has been compared with sensual Greek goddesses we can not compare them with each other. In other dimension, we can see "Anahita" in face of "Nahid" or "Zohreh", the professional musician of the heaven who is the manifestation of a tricky woman that tricks even angels. In fact, Nahid has a dual personality. In one way, she is the manifestation of holiness and in another way the manifestation of fancy. But this duality can be explained.
