Pateti

Pateti, also known as Navroj is the Parsi New year. Navroj depicts the day when Mother Nature discards all the old, useless and abortive out of sight and dresses up like a new bride welcoming harmony and jubilation in not only her but everyone’s life. The significance of this day lied in the fact that it is the right day to lament over the wrong done in the past and resolving not to continue the same in the future. This day is not only entering into a New Year but also a new awakening into distinct strata of spiritual consciousness and a new vision of life.
