As Abu Rayhan al-Biruni wrote: “Just as the Sun and Moon are the eyes of the sky, Navruz and Mehrjon are the eyes of time.” Mehrjon, like Navruz, originates from ancient times and was once one of the most important festivals for farmers and herders. It was celebrated from September 23 to October 22.
If Navruz symbolizes the beginning of the year, Mehrjon represents its result—the harvest and preparation for winter. Today it is celebrated on a smaller scale, though traditions such as Birinci Chakal, Cotton Festival, and Harvest Festival remain. These events include folk festivities, exhibitions, festive meals, dances, tightrope walking, and performances with traditional instruments like karnay and surnay.
