Navruz

The oldest ancient national festival, Navruz ("Holiday Navruz"), translates to "new day" in Persian. Navruz, which is celebrated on March 21st, is regarded as the start of the new year. The 21st of March is known as the spring equinox. The day and night lengths are the same — 12 hours. The Earth enters the World astronomical equivalence on March 21st. Even now, seasons on different hemispheres differ; in the southern hemisphere, fall arrives, while in the northern hemisphere, spring arrives. This festival is observed during the start of spring, when all plants and trees bloom and take on a new springform. Many Uzbek families cook traditional foods like Sumalak, Halim, Somsa from plants, Pilov, and others before the start of this festival. These Uzbek recipes contain a variety of vitamin compounds that are beneficial to the human body.

With the country's independence, traditional Uzbek customs and traditions have been revived, as has the holiday Navruz, and celebrations have taken on new meaning and depth. It became a national festival of friendship, unity, and universal brotherhood. Its role in national history is seen in the brilliant theatrical portrayals of Navruz's philosophic and lyrical judgment. Navruz is now celebrated on Alisher Navoi's square on an annual basis.
