Ahangar

Ahangar (آهنگر) is a Persian word meaning blacksmith. It denotes a person who works with iron and other metals, forging them into tools, weapons, and other objects using heat and shaping techniques like hammering and bending. The term can also refer to a blacksmith's workshop or smithy. Traditionally, Ahangars held an important role in communities, providing essential implements for agriculture, construction, and warfare. The profession is often associated with strength, skill, and craftsmanship. While modern manufacturing has diminished the reliance on individual blacksmiths, the term "Ahangar" remains in use and refers to metalworkers and artisans engaged in forging and shaping metal by hand.
