They also visit shrines and take part in various cultural events and activities. One of the most important customs during Nowruz is the practice of "samanak," where women gather to make a sweet and sticky pudding made from wheat germ, which symbolizes good luck and prosperity for the coming year. Another popular tradition is kite flying, where people of all ages fly colorful kites to signify the arrival of spring. Nowruz is a time for Afghans to come together, reflect on the past year, and look forward to the new year with hope and optimism. It is a time of joy, feasting, and celebration, with music, dance, and festivities filling the streets and homes of Afghanistan.
