In ancient times Nimvar was an important location for Zoroastrianism. It is one of the ancient cities related to the Sassanid and Ashkanian eras in Iran. Among historical customs that are still alive, and with a history of two thousand years, are the dredging ceremony of Qomrud River and the BilGardani ceremony signifying the harnessing of nature by human beings.[https://civilica.com/doc/1151457/ تحلیل آیین بیل گردانی نیم ور از منظر هنر مشارکتی تعاملی - Persian]
