In particular, the hyacinth and the tulip are popular and conspicuous. Parsis adorn their houses with different auspicious symbols; namely, stars, butterflies, birds and fish. They order and make new attires especially for the festival. On the day of Navroz, they dress in their new and best clothes and put on gold and silver kustis and caps. They decorate the doors and windows with garlands of roses and jasmines, and use colour powders for creating patterns known as
rangoli on the steps and thresholds.
