Analyzing sensory richness in wall paintings of imamzahs in Kashan during the Qajar period

The quality of the environment is evaluated with various variables, one of which is sensory richness. Religious places, including imamzades, have the ability to show people's religious beliefs with various techniques and ornaments. In the meantime, mural paintings have played an important role as a basic principle in the development of Shiite religion. Kashan, with its historical record in the field of religion and great architects, contains a large number of buildings with religious paintings on the surface of their plaster walls. These murals were mostly executed during the Qajar period. In Imamzadehs of Kashan, to what extent has attention been paid to emotional richness in connection with Shia religion? It is a question that is answered with the aim of identifying the sensory richness in the crystallization of Shiite art in these holy places with the analytical descriptive method in line with documentary studies. The depiction of religious buildings can be one of the factors that arouse the audience's sense of space and increase the sensory richness of the space and somehow create a deep connection with the audience. On the other hand, artists in different ages by using the five human senses and sensory perception have been able to convey various concepts to the users, including paying attention to pure Shia art, and by using these arrays, an image in a public religious space such as Imamzadeh, in a way, increases attendance and interaction. It has created an audience in this religious atmosphere.
