Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday extended greetings on the occasion of Navroz, conveying wishes of prosperity and joy to citizens across the country. In a post on X, the Prime Minister greeted people and said, “Greetings on the special occasion of Navroz. Praying for a year filled with prosperity and joy. May everyone be healthy and may all aspirations be realised. Navroz Mubarak!”

Navroz, also known as Nowruz, marks the beginning of spring and symbolises renewal and new beginnings. The term originates from Persian, where ‘Nav’ means new and ‘Roz’ means day, translating to ‘new day’. The festival is rooted in Zoroastrian traditions dating back to the time of Prophet Zarathustra and continues to hold cultural and religious significance, particularly among the Parsi community. Celebrations include decorating homes with flowers, wearing new clothes, and visiting fire temples.
