Tekyeh Pehneh in Semnan is one of the tekyeh of Semnan, which has remained for us since the Qajar era. Tekyeh was often made in a vast place to be suitable for Ta'ziyeh Khani ceremonies. Ta'ziyeh Khani ceremonies are also prevalent today, and are mostly held in the months of Muharram and Safar, where many followers go to the tekyeh to visit. Tekyehs, in addition to be the place for Ta'ziyeh Khani, also had another use for the purchase and sale of goods. Usages have been preserved up to now, businessmen are doing business every day of the year and they mourn in the months of Muharram and Safar. Tekyeh Pehneh in Semnan, like Nasar Tekyeh, is built in two floors and located at the bottom of the lower bazaar. The first floor is comprised of shops and on the second floor, a vast porch for the people to watch Ta'ziyeh ceremony. The entrance of the shops and the porch is decorated with beautiful tiling arts. In the poems in the description on the tiling, the name of the constructer of tekyeh is mentioned that he was "Hajj Mullah Ali Hakim Elahi Semnani". The building of Tekyeh Pehneh began in 1319 AH and ended in 1327 AH. During the Qajar era, it did not have the ceiling, but during Pahlavi period they made a ceiling for it.
