The town of MAHALLAT is located southwest of Arak in the Providence of Markad. Mahallat is not only famous for its rugs and carpets, but also for its mineral springs. Every year, people from all around Iran visit these springs for their healthful benefits. The Mahallat water site is situated 260 kilometers(162 Miles) southwest of Tehran within the city of Mahallat. The mineral water of the Mahallat water site has a temperature of 48 centigrade, and each liter contains 53.5 milligrams of salts such as chlorine, selenium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium. It is unique in the world in terms of hydrotherapy, and is effective for the treatment of hepatic, renal, and alimentary diseases as well as gout, some forms of dermatitis, rheumatism and osteo-arthritis. The mineral water is odorless, colorless and completely translucent. Mahallat also has some of the best travertine stone in the world. T are many mines all around the city. The majority of these mines export stone to Europe, especially to Italy. In reference to physical characteristics, Mahal (Mahallat) rugs and carpets are found with both tribal and curvilinear motifs.
