Haft-Seen Table for Nowruz

A traditional Haft-Seen arrangement for Nowruz, the Persian New Year, is thoughtfully presented. Central to the composition is elegant calligraphy of a New Year's prayer, surrounded by key symbolic items. These include green sprouts (sabzeh), red apples (seeb), cloves of garlic (seer), gold coins (sekkeh), sweet samanu, and crimson sumac spice, each representing wishes for prosperity, health, and renewal. Completing this celebratory spread are a holy book, a goldfish in a bowl, decorative painted eggs, a lit candle, and a mirror, all essential elements for a hopeful and auspicious start to the new year.
