The Faravahar, also known as Fravahar, Farohar and Farre Kiyâni, is one of the most well-known symbols of Persia and of Zoroastrianism, the main faith of Persia before the Muslim conquest.
How to Set Up Your Golden Engraved Crystal Hookah Set
To get the most out of your Persian golden engraved crystal hookah set, follow these steps:
1. Fill the glass about one-third with water.
2. Insert the hookah body into the glass, making sure the metal tube is submerged by 2 to 3 cm (0.79 to 1.18 inch) and no air leaks around the body.
3. If the body has a tray, place it on top of the body.
4. Insert the hose into the hole of the body, ensuring no air enters around the hose.
5. Place the metal screen (mesh) into the head, then place the head onto the body.
6. Fill the head with tobacco and distribute it evenly by hand.
7. Cover the head with a thin layer of aluminium foil and poke regular holes with a needle.
8. Heat the charcoal over a direct flame until it turns red, then use tongs to place it on top of the foil.
