Pateti is an observance of the Parsi community which falls ahead of Parsi New Year also known as Navroz. On Pateti, Parsis repent for their sings and wrongdoings of the past year. The day is believed to cleanse and purify your mind and begin afresh on the next day which starts a new year. Pateti comes from the word ‘Patet’ which means repentance.
