Navroz, also known as Nowruz, is the day that celebrates the beginning of the Parsi New Year for adherents of the Zoroastrian religion. Every year, it is celebrated on August 16 in India. The Parsi New Year starts on the first day of Farvardin, the first month of the Zoroastrian calendar, which is the first day of the month of Farvardin.
The day is also known as Jamshed-i-Nouroz, in honour of the Persian monarch Jamshed, who is credited with establishing the Parsi calendar in the first place. Navroz is observed all around the globe at the time of the spring equinox, which occurs around March 21. The Shahenshahi calendar, on the other side, is used by Parsis in India but does not take leap years under consideration. As a result, the Parsi New Year is observed in India after 200 days it is celebrated throughout the world.
Parsi New Year History
The observance of the Parsi New Year is said to have originated more than 3,000 years ago. In Persia (now Iran), the messiah Zarathustra established Zoroastrianism, which is among the world’s oldest recorded monotheistic faiths. It is one of the world’s oldest known monotheisms. It was among the most significant faiths in the ancient world until the rise of Islam in the seventh century.
