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 new clothing, especially for children. One of the
other customs of Norouz is visiting family and friends during the new year
holidays. People buy Persian nuts and sweets to serve for their guests during
the occasion. The photos presented here show the people in Tehran shopping for
Norouz.
