The Parsi New Year, also commonly known as Nowruz or Navroz, is widely celebrated in India by the Parsi community. The word Nowruz is derived from an ancient Persian word where 'now' means new and 'ruz' means day. So, together the word signifies 'a new day'. On this day, Parsi families across the country visit the holy temples to offer prayers. The day is marked to celebrate new beginnings and usher in a year full of hope and joy.

This year Parsi New year will be observed on Tuesday, 16 August. As the auspicious occasion is around the corner, here we bring you more details about its history, and significance, along with Happy Parsi New Year 2022 wishes to share with your friends and family.

This was the day when King Jamshid was crowned as the King of Persia. The day of king Jamshid's crowning is considered to be the beginning of the Parsi new year. It is also referred to as Jamshedi Navroz by some Parsi people.
