Bahar

Bahar meaning spring season, in Persian also appears as a given girl's name in Iran, Pakistan and Turkey. Bahar word originated from Vihar. Early Persian poetry was a creation of east Persians, who cultivated abstract mental forms recalling the grace of Buddhist statues. Till the 11th century, Persian poetry came from Khorasan, Sogdiana and adjacent areas, which were once steeped in Buddhism. The metaphor of Bot (Buddha) was constant and exclusive in early Persian poetry. The facial type of bot-e-mahruy (moon-faced statue) was the norm in Persian paintings and poetry. Bahar is both spring and a monastery (vihar). The Persian raghe for sloping hill refers to the location of vihars on top of a hill with gentle slopes.
