It is on March 21, the day and night equal, that a new solar cycle, a new astronomical year, and therefore the law of renewal comes into force again. Therefore, Nowruz is like a New Year for the Turkic and Iranian peoples. Later, under the Achaemenids (VI-IV centuries BC), Nowruz first received a state status, turning from an agricultural ritual into a Zoroastrian holiday and was tied to the Sun and Zarathustra cult. Today, the Nowruz holiday is an event of national importance and one of the main Uzbek national traditions, and, like thousands of years ago, it is full of the oldest original rituals and colourful rites.
The main sacrament takes place on the night of March 21. This is the time to prepare the main ritual dish of wheat growth - sumalyak. The whole mahalla, mostly women, gather behind the huge boiler: they sit in a circle, sing songs, have fun, each waiting for his turn to stir the sumalyak. In the morning the sumalyak is still warmly handed out to the neighbors, relatives and friends. When trying sumalyak, one should make a wish - the locals say it will come true.
