Mordad is the fifth month of the Persian calendar, which is used in Iran and some other regions. It typically corresponds to late July and August in the Gregorian calendar. The month has 31 days and is known for its warm summer weather, making it a popular time for outdoor activities and festivals. In Persian culture, Mordad is associated with the celebration of Tir, the preceding month, and is often linked to agricultural activities. The name "Mordad" itself is derived from the Avestan word meaning "the month of the dead," reflecting its historical significance in ancient traditions.
