Chahar Cheragh or Chuar-chira Square (Template:Langx, Template:Langx, Template:Langx) (meaning Square of the four candles), is a public square in the centre of the city of Mahabad.[1] It is now officially called Shahrdari Square (Municipality Square).
At this place, the Russian-backed Qazi Muhammad proclaimed the Republic of Mahabad in 1946. Here, after restoring Iranian authority and chasing the Russian-backed elements away in 1947, Qazi Muhammad, and other political leaders of the Republic of Mahabad were executed by the Iranian state.
