Ahesta Bero

Ahesta Boro (Template:PerB, literally "walk slowly", figuratively "walk graciously") is a musical composition played to welcome the bride and groom’s entrance to the wedding hall in Persian weddings in Afghanistan, Iran and Tajikistan. Usually the accompanied couple is walked slowly under the sanction of the Glorious Quran as the attending guests rise in honor of the holy book. This anthem is a very strong tradition of these marriage ceremonies and is always done without exception. The song was originally wrote by Sarban, who had his inspiration from the Tajik folklore.
