Navroz, Nowruz or Parsi New Year will be observed on August 16 this year. The word 'Navroz' is made up of two words Nav and Roz. While Nav means new, Roz stands for day. The Parsi community in India celebrates New Year nearly 200 days after the rest of the world as it follows the Shahenshahi calendar. For India, Navroz usually falls in July or August.

On the special occasion, the Parsis decorate their houses and come together for feasts and community meetings. To make this day even more noteworthy, here are a list of wishes, greetings and messages you can send to your family members, friends, well-wishers and loved ones.
