How the dates are worked out
🔥 Parsi. Most Parsis in India follow the Shahenshahi calendar: twelve months of 30 days and five Gatha days, 365 days with no leap day, so Navroz comes a day earlier every four years. Irani Zoroastrians follow the Kadmi calendar (a month earlier), and the Fasli calendar keeps Navroz on 21 March — Jamshedi Navroz, celebrated by all.
