Biography
editTamar was a daughter of Faramarz Amilakhvari, and a sister of Abd-ol-Ghaffar Amilakhvari.[2] Sometime around 1619, after Abbas I ordered roughly 40,000 immigrant Georgian and Armenian families in Farahabad to conduct the Epiphany ceremony, Tamar donated some 30,000 tomans for the construction of "an all-weather paved causeway to Farrokhabad". She dedicated the act to God as an offer for Abbas I's health.[3]
