Provinces Of Iran
Iran is subdivided into thirty-one provinces ( ''Ostân''), each governed from a local centre, usually the largest local city, which is called the capital (Persian: , ''Markaz (country subdivision), Markaz'') of that province. The provincial authority is headed by a governor-general (Persian: ''Ostândâr''), who is appointed by the Ministry of Interior (Iran), Minister of the Interior subject to approval of the cabinet. Modern history Iran has held its modern territory since the Treaty of Paris (1857), Treaty of Paris in 1857. Prior to 1937, Iran had maintained its feudal administrative divisional structure, dating back to the time the modern state was centralized by the Safavid dynasty in the 16th century. Although the boundaries, roles, and rulers changed often.

Names after natural features In Rajasthan, names are frequently given after rock, stone, ravine, and embankment.
