🌸 Nowruz

Nowruz marks the Persian New Year on the spring equinox, celebrated by over 300 million people across Iran, Central Asia, and the global diaspora. The core five-day celebration includes setting the Haft-sin table with seven symbolic items, spring cleaning (khaneh-tekani), family visits, and the festival of fire (Chaharshanbe Suri). The full Nowruz period extends to Sizdah Bedar on the 13th day.
