Haft-Seen Table
The Haft-Seen Table is a traditional Persian arrangement displayed during the Nowruz celebration, marking the arrival of spring and the Persian New Year. It features seven symbolic items, each starting with the Persian letter "S," representing health, wealth, love, and other positive attributes. Common items include sabzeh (sprouted wheat), samanu (sweet pudding), and senjed (dried fruit).
In addition to the seven main items, the table often includes other elements like goldfish, representing life, and painted eggs, symbolizing fertility. The Haft-Seen Table serves as a focal point for family gatherings, reflecting cultural values and hopes for the new year.
