The most joyful and symbolic day of the year in Central Asia is March 21, celebrated as Navruz, the traditional New Year of many peoples of the region. Navruz is one of the oldest and most cherished holidays in Tajikistan. It marks the arrival of spring, the season when nature awakens from its winter sleep and life begins anew. On this day, the length of day and night becomes equal, symbolizing balance, renewal, and harmony in nature.
