Novruz is a traditional festival that marks the arrival of spring and the beginning of the new year in several cultures, particularly in Persian and Central Asian regions. Celebrated on the vernal equinox, it symbolizes renewal, rebirth, and the triumph of light over darkness. The festival typically includes various customs, such as cleaning homes, visiting family and friends, and preparing special dishes. During Novruz, people often set up a table called Haft-Seen, which features seven symbolic items starting with the Persian letter "S." These items represent health, wealth, love, and other positive attributes. The celebration lasts for about two weeks, filled with music, dancing, and various cultural activities.
