This year, the Parsi community has geared up for a glorious and culturally-rich celebration of the Parsi New Year on August 16. Also known as “Navroz” and “Nowroz”, the day marks the beginning of the Iranian calendar year. “Navroz” is derived from two words “Nav” and “Roz” which translate to New Day.
The day, also called the Persian New Year, is celebrated in many countries with Persian influence such as India, Iran, Afghanistan and parts of Central Asia. “Navroz” marks the commencement of the new year as per the “Shahenshahi” calendar.
On this day, Parsis across the world meet each other to commemorate the special day. They also visit the sacred fire temples to offer prayers. It is believed that the souls of the departed visit their family and loved ones during this time to bless them. People clean and decorate their houses, wear new clothes and prepare delicious food to share with friends, family and the community.
In India, “Navroz” is celebrated in the states of Gujarat and Maharashtra.
