Sada is one of the seasonal and ceremonial festivals of the Aryan people, including the ancestors of the Tajik people, symbolizing preparation for the spring sowing season and the Navruz festival. People celebrate this holiday by lighting large bonfires, as fire in Aryan culture symbolized purity, light, and warmth and was considered a source of stability and a dignified life.
The exhibition of achievements in agriculture, environmentally friendly domestic products, performances by artists, and various folk crafts from different regions of the country serve as distinctive symbols of this ancient festival of our ancestors, attracting the attention of residents, guests, and tourists alike.
