The present research is the result of a field search to find and study surviving designs from the life and prosperity of carpet weaving among Mohajeran and their introduction. mohajeran was one of the Armenian villages and one of the most important centers of Arak weaving in the past, but today the body of the village and its art of carpet weaving have been lost. in addition to being influenced by the Arak weaving system, the mohajeran carpet has a design and map with its own identity, which has not been included in the research system and the research community has neglected to study and introduce it. therefore, identifying and investigating the technical and aesthetic dimensions of the immigrant carpets is the goal of this research. In this way, by searching the databases of Iranian carpet owners, a number of 31 different and diverse samples were selected from among a large number of immigrant carpets and were studied and examined for analysis and introduction. therefore, the main question is what are the technical and aesthetic dimensions of the immigrant carpet? the summary of the research findings is as follows: in mohajeran carpets, only abstract and abstract plant motifs in the form of bouquets and bushes, as well as dome and altar-shaped vases have been carved in the form of diffusion composition. also, there is a central structure or motif of trange in the form of a cross and similar to what can be seen in the Lilian carpet. in fact, the structure and nature of the mohajiran carpet, especially in the design, framing, and space creation of motifs, is very similar and close to the Lilian carpet in khomin. tnd this shows the preservation of the formal and visual characteristics of the designs and maps of the armenian woven carpets of iran, which may be rooted in the armenian carpet as the first origin of these carpets. this research is of a qualitative and developmental type and a descriptive-analytical research method. also, the method of data collection is searching in the arak market and reliable global collections.
