Ganjureh

Ganjureh is a historical term referring to a type of treasury or storehouse, primarily used within the context of Persian and Persianate societies. It generally denotes a place for keeping valuable items, state records, and sometimes, even royal archives. The term can also encompass a wider concept of a place for collecting and preserving knowledge or important resources. The specific contents and functions of a ganjureh varied depending on the ruler, region, and historical period. Ganjurehs were often closely associated with the royal court and served as vital components of administrative and economic power.
