Navruz is the day of the vernal equinox, marking the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
It has been celebrated in the territory corresponding to modern Uzbekistan for at least two thousand years.
Currently, Navruz is an official public holiday in Uzbekistan and is always celebrated on March 21. However, the festive celebrations stretch over several days.
In preparation for the holiday, people tidy up their houses and mahallas (neighborhoods), buy new clothes. Before, during and after Navruz, it is customary to cook sumalak, the main ritual dish of the holiday.
