Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Bahar Danesh is one of the folk and ancient Indian legends, written by Inayatullah Kanabwe Lahori (1088A.H.), it is a joint chapter of folk and literary stories in the style of Indian storytelling and stories within stories. Transfiguration (human to human, human to animal, human to illusory beings, animal to animal, etc.) is one of the recurring themes in the stories of this book, with themes such as shape-shifting, spells and magic, incarnation in a state of change. The form, the awareness of the science of taking off the body and transferring the soul from one body to another is evident throughout the space of stories. The cultural diversity of the vast field of ritual literature in India has led to the discovery of rich collections of folk tales in which the occurrence of extraordinary things is a common thing; Therefore, in legends, we are faced with creatures that suddenly change, metamorphose, do things beyond the natural power of man and reveal the unattainable hopes of the mass of Indian people like a mirror. Various types of personification in Bahar Danesh folk tales have been done with the purpose of analyzing and analyzing the function.

METHODOLOGY: This research was carried out in a descriptive-analytical way and based on the theoretical framework of the research and using the method of collecting information in a library.

FINDINGS: The types of transformation in the folk tales of Bahar Danesh include a wide range of transformation of humans, animals, divan, fairies and their actions and speech, especially in those types where the elements of imagination and illusion are mixed together, it presents the idea of transformation of humans, an approach towards capacities Ghani"s imagination can be imagined in contrast with natural phenomena.

CONCLUSION: In the tales of Bahar Danesh, a large part of mythological beliefs, belief in dissolution and reincarnation, traces of Vedic religion, magical powers of the lord of knowledge and Indian Brahmins in their folk narratives in Persian language have been reflected in it.
