Each year people of Mazandaran Province in North of Iran hold a ceremony to celebrate the new season of planting rice. The celebration begins with playing drums and trumpets and forming a carnival of women in traditional dressings.
The carnival heads towards the rice fields and congratulates the new season of rice planting to farmers while carrying sweets, cakes, fruits, and gifts on trays on their heads.
Local people play music, dance traditionally, cite folkloric poems, play folkloric games, perform ropewalking, and make foods and distribute it across the village.
It is a happy entertaining celebration.
