Bakhtiaris primarily inhabit the provinces of Lorestan, Khuzestan, Chahar Mahaal and Bakhtiari, and Isfahan. In Iranian mythology, the Bakhtiari consider themselves to be descendants of Fereydun, a legendary hero from the Persian national epic, Shahnameh.
The Bakhtiari captured Teheran under the Haft Lang khan Sardar Assad and played a significant role in constitutional reform and the abdication of Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar (r. 1907-1909) in 1909, after which he was exiled to Russia. Reza Shah Pahlevi (r. 1925-1941) attempted to destroy the Bakhtiari and they have never fully recovered since that time. They are noted in Iran for their remarkable music which inspired Borodin.[1]

Aren´t Bakhtiaris one of the original Persian tribes of Persepolis? Great song and a beautiful culture, similar to that of central Asia/Khorasanzameen.

[Nader Shah]

Something like that They are one of the few non-Turkic nomads left in Iran, but most Bakhtiyaris are now settled. Prime minister of Iran (shortly after revolution) - Shapur Bakhtiar - and Sorayw Esfandiari (wife of Shah) were both Bakhtiryaris. Many of them are very light-skinned even though they live in the south.
