Parsi New Year, also known as Navroz, is a vibrant and culturally significant festival celebrated by the Parsi community in India. This year, Parsi New Year falls on August 15, 2024. The festival marks the beginning of the new year in the Parsi calendar and is celebrated with enthusiasm and traditional customs. It is celebrated with great pomp and fervour, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Parsis. The origin of the day can be traced back to ancient Persian tradition. People celebrate the festival by wearing new clothes, performing religious ceremonies and feasting. Another way to celebrate the Parsi New Year is by sharing wishes and greetings.

Notably, the festival is celebrated yearly on Spring Equinox, around March 21. However, the Parsi community in India follows the Shahenshahi calendar and thus celebrates the new year in July or August. This year, it falls on August 15, as they do not take leap years into account. Navroz signifies a fresh start and is a time to welcome the new year with hope and joy. The festival symbolizes renewal, rebirth, and the triumph of light over darkness. People share Navroz Mubarak wishes, greetings, and Happy Parsi New Year HD images, wallpapers, and WhatsApp messages.
