The 13-day celebration begins with the equinox when the sun crosses the equator. This broadly symbolizes rebirth and affirmation of life in harmony with nature. Some countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, among others celebrate Nowruz as a holiday.
For many people, common traditions include cleaning the house, visiting friends and neighbors, and preparing traditional dishes such as special desserts, herb rice, and fried fish.
