Iran stories: show us around your home

Iranians love to have guests, from small gatherings to huge parties, but you must always eat in an Iranian home. Photograph: Haleh Anvari/AKSbazi

The Tehran Bureau is partnering with the Iranian photography website AKSbazi.com so that we can see more of what it's like to live and work in Iran. We know hospitality is important to Iranians so – for our first project – we'd like to you to show us your home with photographs or videos. If you happen to be Iranian, but live outside Iran, we'd like to hear from you too.

A family in Tehran prepare for Ashura lunch. Many Iranians pledge to serve free food on this day to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hossein, the 3rd Imam of Shia muslims. The two huge pots contain saffron rice and lamb with lentils and dried limes stew, a favourite dish for Ashura. Photograph: Haleh Anvari/AKSbazi
