Nowruz 1405: Iranian New Year Dates in 2026

When is Nowruz 1405?

The first day of the loaded Solar Hijri year is Saturday, 21 March 2026. The annual edition continues through 20 March 2027. This guide gives the printed civil dates; the exact astronomical equinox instant is a separate timestamp.

The daily transcription also records Eid al-Fitr on the first day of this year and the corresponding holiday on the following day. Open each row to inspect its Persian source wording.

The first four printed holiday dates

Why two celebrations can share a date

Nowruz belongs to the solar new year. Eid al-Fitr belongs to the lunar religious calendar. Because the two calendars count different cycles, their observances can coincide in one year and separate in another.

The table keeps the named observances together because that is how they appear in the saved 1405 calendar. It does not imply that either holiday is defined by the other.

Continue through Farvardin

Select Farvardin in the interactive calendar to follow the rest of the month, including ordinary days, Fridays and other printed observances. Each date retains a source-page reference. The month-name guide explains Farvardin’s historical association with guardian spirits, while the annual guide lists all twelve month boundaries.
