Kherāmeh

Kherameh lies in the Karbal plain east of Shiraz, near the course of the Kur River before it reaches Lake Bakhtegan. Barrages along the river diverted water to the surrounding fields; medieval writers described several such works in the district. West of the settlement stands a four-arched building traditionally known as the Gabran fire temple. Bridges across the Kur and an old bath are associated with the Safavid period, adding later layers to a landscape shaped by a long history of irrigation.
