​During the ancient Newroz festival in Sisier village, Sardasht, locals dressed in traditional Kurdish attire carry burning torches along the rugged hillsides. The flame serves as a symbol of hope, light, and the arrival of spring, reflecting a centuries-old cultural heritage deeply rooted in nature and community unity.
