Spring is around the corner. The arrival of
spring also coincides with the beginning of the
Persian New Year Norouz. This is
a festive occasion for Iranians and many other countries in the region. The
arrival of new year also means a fresh start. Cleaning and dusting the house in
advance of arrival of Norouz is one of the important customs for the people.
Following photos show the people in Tehran engaging in house cleaning. A big
part of this is washing the Persian carpets.
