Nowruz is two-week celebration that marks the beginning of the New Year in Iran's official Solar Hejri calendar.
The celebration includes four public holidays from the first to the fourth day of Farvardin, the first month of the Iranian calendar, usually beginning on March 21.
On the Eve of Nowruz, the fire festival Chaharshanbe Suri is celebrated.

Following the 1979 Revolution, some radical elements from the Islamic government attempted to suppress Nowruz, considering it a pagan holiday and a distraction from Islamic holidays.
Nowruz has been politicized, with political leaders making annual Nowruz speeches.
