Navroz

In India, 17 August marks the Parsi New Year, also known as Navroz or Nowruz. Though the rest of the world celebrate Navroz on 21 March, Indians follow the Shahenshahi calendar, which does not consider leap years and thus, it is celebrated on the 17th of August. The day also marks the beginning of the new Iranian calendar.

Navroz which means New Day in Persian is observed by Iranians, Persians and some Muslim communities. In India, it is mainly observed by the Parsi community, who migrated in the Indian states of Maharashtra and Gujarat during the Muslim conquest of Persia. House cleaning, decorating, shopping, dressing up in their best clothes and visiting friends and family are commonly done in Navroz.

On the auspicious occasion of Navroz, we have compiled a list of Parsi actors who have made it big on Television with their work.
