Like the Buskashi photos, these pictures look at the spring festival of Navruz ('New Days') one of the biggest holidays in Central Asia. It is a New Years Eve according to the ancient Oriental calendar and can include traditional games, music and drama festivals, street art and colourful fairs. In Tajikistan it is celebrated over 3 days.
