Norouz is the traditional Iranian new year holiday. It is the most cherished of all Iranian festivities. Norouz marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the Iranian solar calendar. It is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox (start of spring).

Party Time, Happy Time. Time to welcome the spring and the New Year “Norouz” with fooling around and celebrating.

We open our world of Norouz (window) to the manoto viewers.
