The national Attar Day is annually celebrated on April 13 in different Iranian cities including the northeastern city of Neishabour where the poet has been laid to rest.
Born in Neishabour, Attar was a poet of the Seljuk dynasty and one of the greatest mystic literary figures in Iran.
His works were mostly inspired by Mowlavi and other mystic poets.
Mantiq al-Tayr, Mokhtar-Nama, Mosibat-Nama and Elahi-Nama are among his better-known works.
