narrative commences with the story of Bahram and Dilaram.

Later, Bahram has seven differently-coloured domed pavilions built for him within his palace grounds, in which wait seven princesses from various parts of the world. Bahram Gur visits each on a different day of the week and each of them tells him a story:

* Saturday - the Black Pavilion - the Indian Princess (The Tale of the Three Princes of Serendip)
* Sunday - the Yellow Pavilion - the Princess of Nimruz
