"Charshanbe Suri" (also spelled Chaharshanbe Suri) is a traditional Iranian festival celebrated on the eve of the last Wednesday of the year, marking the start of Nowruz (Persian New Year), where people jump over bonfires as a symbolic act of purification and renewal, signifying the triumph of light over darkness, deeply rooted in Zoroastrian traditions; the name literally translates to "Red Wednesday" in Persian, with "Suri" meaning "red" or "fiery" color associated with the flames.
As we cannot have the fire work in the closed place, we will dance and fire the place down with dancing.
