Synopsis

Mandaeans are the followers of John the Baptist. About 7000 of them live on the banks of Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Iraq. There are another 25000 of Mandaeans in Iran, on the shores of Karoon river in Khuzestan. Their race has remained pure as their marriages are limited to the members of their community and no member is accepted from outside Mandaean circle.
