The phrase can refer to:

• A mythical or legendary location: In folklore, Gowd Chah often describes a hidden, immensely valuable well or source of treasure, associated with tales of ancient kings, djinns, or lost civilizations. These wells are often said to be guarded by supernatural beings or protected by intricate traps. The treasure is not always literal gold; it can also represent wisdom, power, or spiritual enlightenment.

• A real or perceived geographical location: While often mythical, some believe Gowd Chah to refer to specific historical locations rumored to contain hidden wealth or natural resources. These sites are typically situated in remote or inaccessible regions of Iran, fueling speculation and local legends.

• A metaphor: The phrase is sometimes used metaphorically to represent a source of great wealth, abundance, or potential. It can describe a person, place, or situation that possesses significant untapped value. The meaning is dependent on the specific context of its usage.

The precise meaning and significance of Gowd Chah vary depending on the region, the specific tale being told, and the individual interpretation. It remains a recurring motif in Persian cultural narratives.
