One of the best ways to understand various phenomena related to political and economic structures, as well as the public and social culture, is to examine the perspectives of individuals who evaluate these phenomena as external observers. Therefore, studying the works left behind by travelers and tourists who visited Guilan for various purposes and recorded their experiences in travelogues or memoirs is of great importance. The main research question addressed in the present study is: How were the religious practices of Guilanis reflected in the travelogues of the Qajar era? In the present study, using quantitative content analysis, an effort was made to explore and represent the religious practices and symbols mentioned in European travelogues from the Qajar period, with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of Guilan's social history. Theoretically, using Stuart Hall's Theory of Representation, selected indicators and categories were examined within the geographical context of Guilan, as seen through the eyes of thirteen European travel writers—those who either resided in Guilan or passed through the region at certain times. The obtained data were categorized into three main themes including "Rituals and Symbols" (with the highest frequency of indicators such as religious sites, prayers and supplications, and attention to prophets), "Religious Laws" (with the highest frequency of indicators such as women's veiling, the impurity of non-Muslims, and alcohol consumption), and "Religions" (focusing on Islam and Christianity).
