From Nowruz and Mehrgan to royal anniversaries: every day is a chance to rediscover a story of Iran.
The anniversary of Mohammad Reza Shah and Empress Farah’s coronation at Golestan Palace on 4 Aban 2526 Imperial (26 October 1967).
Mohammad Reza Shah’s birthday anniversary, observed by the court on 4 Aban.
An unofficial, contemporary commemoration of Cyrus, symbolically linked to accounts of his entry into Babylon.
7 Aban is a modern commemoration, not an ancient festival or an official UNESCO day. Conventions for converting ancient dates differ.
The anniversary of the former Crown Prince of Iran’s birth on 31 October 1960.
The Aban name-day festival, honoring the waters.
This is a traditional name-day festival. Dates differ between Zoroastrian calendars and communities. Choose the display convention above; this page is not a religious-calendar conversion.
This growing collection starts with 38 documented occasions; it is not an exhaustive timeline of Iranian history. We do not assign arbitrary dates to ancient events without a reliable day and month.
This solar calendar uses the Imperial era and a Saturday-first week. Imperial years equal Solar Hijri years plus 1180; months, days and leap-year rules stay unchanged. Today and countdowns are calculated in Iran’s time zone.
By default, traditional name-day festivals use matching month/day labels on solar months. This is a display convention, not a religious-calendar conversion. The 30-day option preserves their distance from Nowruz. The Zoroastrian religious Shahanshahi calendar is distinct from the Imperial era used here; this page is not a community-specific religious calendar.
Gregorian anniversaries are converted each year, so their Imperial equivalent may shift by a day. Each occasion includes its own date basis. A modern commemoration or ritual date does not establish the exact date of an ancient historical event.
