Besh Qardash, Natural spring and heritage site in Bojnord County, Iran.
Besh Qardash consists of five water springs situated at an elevation of 1,189 meters along the Bojnord-Esfarayen road in North Khorasan Province.
During the Qajar period, Shah Naser al-Din directed Yar Mohammad Khan Shadlou to construct a monument next to the springs, marking its historical importance.
The name translates to 'Five Brothers' in Khorasani Turkic language, referencing a tale of brothers who disappeared on a hillside where the springs emerged.
The springs are located six kilometers southeast of Bojnord, with structures from different periods including the Qajar and Pahlavi eras remaining visible.
An inscription above the spring displays Zoroastrian principles of good thoughts, words, and deeds, connecting ancient Persian philosophy with the natural site.
