In the Shahnameh and Iranian<br />
mythology, he is credited with the<br />
foundation of Nowruz. In the<br />
Shahnama, Jamshid constructed a<br />
throne studded with gems. He had<br />
demons raise him above the e<strong>art</strong>h<br />
into the heavens; there he sat on<br />
his throne like the sun shining in<br />
the sky. The world's creatures<br />
gathered in wonder about him<br />
and scattered jewels around him,<br />
and called this day the New Day or<br />
No/Now-Ruz.<br />
This was the first day of the month<br />
of Farvardin (the first month of the<br />
Persian calendar).<br />
The Persian scholar Abu Rayhan<br />
Biruni of the 10th century CE,<br />
in his Persian work<br />
"Kitab al-Tafhim li Awa'il Sina'at al-<br />
Tanjim" provides a description of<br />
the calendar of various nations.<br />
Besides<br />
the Persian calendar, various<br />
festivals of Arabs, Jews, Sabians,<br />
Greeks and other nations are<br />
mentioned in this book. In the<br />
section on the Persian calendar ,<br />
he mentions Nowruz, Sadeh,<br />
Tiregan, Mehregan, the six<br />
Gahanbar, Parvardegaan,<br />
Bahmanja, Isfandarmazh and<br />
several other festivals.<br />
According to him: It is the belief of<br />
the Persians that Nowruz marks the<br />
first day when the universe st<strong>art</strong>ed<br />
its motion.The Persian historian<br />
Abu Saʿīd Gardēzī in his work titled<br />
Zayn al-Akhbār under the section of<br />
the Zoroastrians festivals mentions<br />
Nowruz (among other festivals) and<br />
specifically points out that<br />
Zoroaster highly emphasized the<br />
celebration of Nowruz and<br />
Mehregan.<br />

celebrating Nowvruz festival, 16th<br />
century, Isfahan, Persia<br />
Although it is not clear whether<br />
proto-Indo-Iranians celebrated a<br />
feast as the first day of the<br />
calendar, there are indications that<br />
both Iranians and Indians may have<br />
observed the beginning of both<br />
autumn and spring, related to the<br />
harvest and the sowing of seeds,<br />
respectively, for the celebration of<br />
new year.
