Sarūk

Saruk lies in the Farahan country north of Arak, amid the agricultural settlements of western central Iran. Its name is associated with a distinctive tradition of carpet weaving shared with the surrounding villages. Woollen carpets made in this area bear varied floral and geometric designs, the work of skilled hands in a landscape of fields and uplands. The Farahan plain and neighbouring settlements form part of the broad corridor between the mountains of Hamadan and the Iranian interior.
