Nowruz is a special occasion celebrated by many countries, including Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, etc. This festivity marks the beginning of the Persian New Year and is observed on the 21st of March in the solar calendar. The word "Nowruz" is derived from the Persian language and is written in the Perso-Arabic script as نوروز. It is also known as Navroz or Nawruz and is celebrated with great zeal and enthusiasm.

Nowruz is a time of renewal and rebirth, marking the start of springtime. People celebrate this occasion by participating in various rituals and festivities, such as Haft-Sin, which is a table setting of seven items starting with the letter "S." The table includes items like Somagh (sumac), Serkeh (vinegar), Senjid (dry fruit), Samanoo (sweet pudding), Sabzeh (sprouts), Seb (apple), and Sir (garlic), each symbolizing a particular belief. Another tradition is Samanak, a sweet dish made from germinated wheat.

Preparations for Nowruz start about a week earlier, with people cleaning their homes thoroughly and setting up the Haft-Sin table. During this time, people visit family members and friends, exchange gifts, and give Eidi to children. Nowruz is a time of joy, celebration, and hope for a prosperous new year.
