Amazing video - Colleagues were asking me what Nowruz is, and I really wanted to share a short video that captures the rituals well. I dug into KZbin and couldn't find the quality I was after, but then I found this - Well done Nowness, for making such high-quality and vibrant videos that non-Iranians/non-Persians can relate to. Awesome work!🎉🎉🙏🏼🙏🏼
