Ostad Ghamar-ol-Moluk Vaziri, the most famous female vocalist of art music, was born in Takestan in 1905. During her childhood, she lost her mother while her father had died before, so her grandmother became her guardian. Her grandmother, Molla-Kheyr-on-Nessaa (titled to Eftekhaar-oz-Zaakerin), was singer of the Rozekhaani ceremonies (religious ceremony) and Ghamar accompanied her and participated in the ceremonies. This was her first acquaintance with the Persian vocal music of the Rozekhaani genre. Their house was in the Sangalaj district of Tehran.
