Religion And Festivals

Islam is the religion that is most extensively practiced in this nation, as was already said. Several state holidays have been set aside in honor of significant events for this faith, notwithstanding the government's declaration that everyone in Tajikistan has the right to practice their religion freely. The inhabitants of this area observed the Navruz celebration before Islam was introduced.

This holiday, which is sometimes referred to as the Persian New Year, is still a significant occasion today. Its origins can be found in the long-ago customs and rituals of harvest and planting season celebrations. For instance, Navruz occurs at the beginning of spring, which is traditionally when fresh crops are planted.

This holiday is celebrated in Tajikistan every year from March 20 to March 23 for a total of 4 days. The Tajik people celebrate Navruz by getting rid of old home items, enjoying outdoor games, and paying visits to friends and relatives in order to prepare for the new season of growth and fertility. Additionally, depending on the locale, specific cuisines might also be produced.
