Happy Persian New Year!

Nowruz has been celebrated by various communities in Asia for over 3,000 years. However, the Iranian calendar was reformed in the 11th century CE and is now based on the Solar Hijri Calendar also known as the Islamic Calendar. The Hijri is based on precise astronomical observations and a sophisticated intercalation system – making it more accurate than the (European) Gregorian calendar.

March 20-21.
