The architecture of Araks bazaar is a result of the continuity of valuable experiences which are due to the concordance between the environment and various functions of bazaar. In this architecture a lot of effort has been put to create integrity and unity in different spaces of bazaar. The physical structure of Araks bazaar is created based on an aforethought proposal, i.e. it has a straight symmetric path instead of a freely curved structure. Mobile Tazieh of Arak and bazaar as the place for its performance brings up questions about the effect of shape, form and structure of bazaar on the formation of this type of Tazieh. Has the mobility of Tazieh affected the structure of bazaar? The order of answers to these questions is also important. The research hypothesis is that the lack of a suitable space for performing Tazieh has been the reason behind selecting bazaar as the site for its performance. Reviving the neglected issue of mobile Tazieh, behavioral analysis of Tazieh in its context and exploring the potential of bazaars environment necessitate this study. The research method for this study is analytical-historical. Data is collected through library studies, field research and conducting in-depth interviews. The aim of this study is to examine the interaction between structure and form of mobile Tazieh and the body of its performance (bazaar) in the city of Arak. In this study, the special and unknown ritual of mobile Tazieh is introduced and the flexibility of this ritual due to lack of circular space, the linearity of bazaar, local competition, economic relations of merchants, and the presence of particular mosques are discussed. Then, it is pointed out that mobile Tazieh has changed the drama, scenario, the timing of the narrative and location of persons in order to show it to the people in bazaar as a sequence in different parts. Finally, it is concluded that one of the reasons for hierarchical performance of Tazieh in Araks bazaar is the linearity of the place within which it is performed.
