Jirhandeh

Jirhandeh is a historical region or area located in, or near, the northern parts of modern-day Iran. Historical records concerning Jirhandeh are scarce and often interwoven with broader regional histories. The name appears primarily in historical chronicles and geographical texts from the medieval period, particularly within Perso-Arabic literature.

Its exact geographical boundaries are not definitively established, and various scholars have proposed differing locations based on interpretations of historical texts. Some interpretations suggest it was situated in or near the Daylam region, known for its mountainous terrain and independent-minded inhabitants. Others suggest it might have been a broader area encompassing parts of the southern Caspian Sea coast.

Jirhandeh's historical significance stems from its strategic location and its association with local dynasties and power struggles during the Islamic era. It likely served as a point of interaction between various cultural and political entities, including those centered around the Caspian Sea and the Iranian plateau. Further research into historical geographical texts and regional histories may shed more light on the specific role and characteristics of Jirhandeh.
