Nawroz is recognised as Persian New Year, a mellifluous day that stems from the land of Iran and is associated with ethnic traditions. The Iranian Hijari calendar aligns with the Gregorian calendar around mid-March to reshuffle time and hail the upcoming year with buzzing grace and wisdom.
As the vibrant new year approaches on March 19, 'Google Doodle' is cherishing the occasion with flamboyant elements of Iranian culture. The illustration portrays a furry cat, a floral tree, and decorated walls and drums in a geometrical pattern to sing an ode to the cyphers of Iranian art. Striking artist, Pendar Yousefi has prepared this illustration with aesthetic floral details.

The Tradition Of 'Haft-Sin'
Haft-sin is considered a time of happy gatherings with family and friends, when seven foods are represented to honor the spirit of fresh season.
The idea of serving lentil sprouts, wheat-based recipes, olives, berries, vinegar, apples and garlic is linked to nurturing growth, power, love, sunrise, patience, beauty and health.
In the beautiful garden of multi-cultural flowers, the spring-infused fragrance of Nawroz brings grace to every season with sparkling filaments of historical, religious and cultural eloquence.
