Mehregan
Wednesday, 30 September 2009 14:09 | Author: Ahmad Karnama |
Mehregan is the autumn festival in Iranian culture, which was celebrated extravagantly since at least 3000 years ago. For several reasons it was of high significance. Today we basically celebrate it as a symbol of cherishing interpersonal relationships such as friendship, affection and love. So we are going to have a Mehregan party at Nymble October 9. There is going to be some live music performance, a photo exhibition and some refreshments. It is free and it is open to everyone from all nationalities. So feel free to join especially if you want to enjoy Persian music and dance!
As KTH-ISS supports the event, unfortunately we can only host students for this ceremony based on the regulations. *** Please also note that you need to bring your student identity card and a valid ID card with you to enter. ***
