In many cultures, visiting elders is a key part of the celebration. This is a time to show respect and care for family members and loved ones. Younger people typically visit the homes of older relatives to receive blessings and small gifts. Special dishes are prepared during Nowruz, including Sabzi Polo Mahi (herbed rice with fish), Kuku Sabzi (herb frittata), Ash Reshteh (a thick soup with noodles and beans), and Baklava or other sweets. Food plays a major role in bringing families and communities together during the celebration.
