It is a Gilani way of the narrative of the Amu Nowruz in which the old and the new years' symbol rise against each other. Although this folklore tradition was becoming obsolete, recently the Rural Museum of Gilan has decided to revive it and holds the performance in regular intervals The main characters of the play are Naz-Khanom, Ghol, and Pir Babo. Ghol takes a club, wears a bulky piece of clothing with bells on it, Pir makes himself like an old person with white beard and moustache, and Naz Khanom role is played by a young man dressed as a young woman. Pir and Ghol challenge to win the heart of Naz Khanom through the performance and at last they fight, Ghol succeeds and ends the play while dancing and singing with Naz Khanom. Naz Khanom is the symbol of righteousness and morality while the Ghol stands for evil-doings.
