Exhibition of Imam Khomeini Photos Kicks Off in Tehran

TEHRAN (FNA)- An exhibition of the late Imam Khomeini's photos started work on Saturday in a ceremony attended by Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Seyed Mohammad Hosseini and a group of foreign guests.


The exhibition, dubbed as "Light of Awakening", opened on the occasion of the 22nd demise anniversary of the Founder of the Islamic Republic, the late Imam Khomeini.
The event displays a collection of the photos from Imam's youth until his passing away.
The exhibition will continue work until June 9th in Niavaran Culture House.
On Saturday, Iranians from all walks of life gathered at the mausoleum of the late Imam Khomeini to mourn the 22nd anniversary of the demise of the Founder of the Islamic Republic and also to renew their allegiance to his ideals.
Every year, millions of Iranians from across the country travel to Tehran to pay tribute to the late leader.
Imam Khomeini returned to Iran after 14 years in exile to lead the Islamic Revolution that toppled the Pahlavi monarchy back in 1979.
Imam Khomeini passed away on June 3, 1989, ten years after leading the uprising that put an end to the Pahlavi regime.
