شهریور is the sixth month of the Persian calendar, which corresponds to August and September in the Gregorian calendar. It typically has 30 days and marks the transition from summer to autumn in Iran. The month is significant for various cultural and agricultural activities, as it is a time for harvesting crops. In addition to its agricultural importance, شهریور is associated with several traditional celebrations and events. One notable occasion is the Shahnameh festival, which honors the epic poetry of Ferdowsi. The month is also linked to the Zoroastrian festival of Mehrgan, celebrating the harvest and the sun.
