The Parsi New Year is a regional festival observed on the first day of Farvardin, the first month of the Zoroastrian calendar. It is also known as Navroz, which is derived from the Persian words Nav and Roz, which indicate a ‘new day’. The celebration occurs around the Spring Equinox around March 21 each year. However, the Parsi community in India follows the Shahenshahi calendar which does not account for leap years. Hence, the celebration has now shifted by 200 days from its original date of the spring equinox.
The Parsi New Year in India is celebrated later in July or August.
