Tarwan

In Mandaeism, Tarwan (Classical Mandaic: ࡕࡀࡓࡅࡀࡍ, romanized: Taruan) is a section of the World of Light that is typically described as a "pure land."

The "land of Tarwan" is mentioned in Qulasta prayers 190 and 379 and Right Ginza 15.17, while "pure Tarwan" (taruan dakita), or sometimes "the pure land of Tarwan," is mentioned as a heavenly place in Right Ginza 15.2, 15.8, 15.16, and 16.1.[1] "Tarwan-Nhura" (Tarwan of Light) is mentioned in Qulasta prayers 4 and 25.[2]
