Tamar Amilakhori


Tamar Amilakhori (Georgian: თამარ ამილახორი) was a 17th-century Georgian noblewoman from the Amilakhori family and a favourite concubine of Safavid king Abbas I of Persia (r. 1588-1629).

Tamar was a daughter of Faramarz Amilakhori and a sister of Abd al-Ghaffar Amilakhori. Sometime around 1619, after Abbas I ordered roughly 40,000 immigrant Georgian and Armenian families in Farahabad to conduct the Epiphany ceremony, Tamar donated some 30,000 tomans for the construction of "an all-weather paved causeway to Farrokhabad". She dedicated the act to God as an offer for Abbas I's health.
