Nakhl Gardani (Persian: نخل گردانی, Persian pronunciation: [næxl ɡærdɑːniː]) or Nakhl Bardari is a Shia religious ritual carried out on the day of Ashura for commemorating the death of Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the Islamic prophet Moḥammad and third Shia Imam.

[5] Nakhl (date palm[6]) is a woody structure similar to a cypress tree in shape,[7] symbolizing Husayn ibn Ali's coffin.

[1] Dehkhoda defines Nakhl as "a big, tall bier (coffin) to which are attached daggers, swords, luxurious fabrics, and mirrors."

[6] Yazd is described as "Iran’s museum of mourning tools" by Jalal Al-e-Ahmad, and is the home to the largest Nakhl,[7] which needs to be carried by "several hundred men".

[2] The 8.5 meters high structure,[7] constructed in 1879, stands in Amir Chakhmaq square of Yazd city and is decayed and no longer used because of the safety concerns.
