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.

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.
