Anjoman-e Okhovat

Coat of arms of the Anjoman-e Okhovat. Shahrokh Raei notes: "The coat of arms consists of two dervish axes (tabarzīn), which intersect and form a multiplication sign, a begging bowl (kashkūl) and a rosary (tasbīḥ)". The letter ṣād at the top refers to the founder of the order Safa'alishah (i.e., Ali Khan-e Qajar, also known as Zahir-ol-Dowleh). The year 1317 (1899) written between the two axes refers to the foundation year of the Anjoman-e Okhovat.

The Anjoman-e Okhovat[a] ("Society of Brotherhood") was a Freemason-like mystical society rooted in Sufism.[1][2] Founded in Qajar Iran, in 1899, it was originally a continuation of the Safi'alishahi branch of Ni'matullāhī, an Iranian Shia Sufi order.[1]
