“The Iranian Luminaries Project aims to introduce rich Persian literature and civilization, which only promotes peace and friendship in the world,” IRIB deputy director Ali Darabi said.

A large group of artists from Fars Province will take part in the production of the project, which is estimated to be completed in five to seven years.

The celebrated Persian poet Hafez is known for his divan, which is regarded as one of the pinnacles of Persian classical literature.

Sadi is one of the greatest figures of classical Persian literature, famous worldwide for his Bustan (The Orchard) and Gulistan (The Rose Garden).

Poet and mystic Khaju lived during the 13th and 14th centuries and his tomb is located at the Quran Gate near the Allaho-Akbar Pass in Shiraz.
