Khakabad (Persian: خاك اباد, also Romanized as Khākābād; also known as Khāk Bād)[1] is a village in Khomeh Rural District, in the Central District of Aligudarz County, Lorestan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 139, in 28 families.[2] Khakabad, uniquely on the crossroads of both the Christian and Shia-Muslim majority regions of Iran and also housing the only region of ethnically Georgian,Armenian and other such populations of Iran. The juxtaposition between these two ethno-religious groups shows that it is one of the most culturally diverse places in the nation even if it is incredibly small in both size, population and notoriety.[3]
