This program included religious ceremony, art, competition and entertainment. The dinner reception was prepared by a group of women. Sepandar Mazgan or Esfandang festival is a day of honoring women and the earth, celebrating birth and growth, and honoring humility, forgiveness, and tolerance. The fifth day of every thirty-day month in the Zoroastrian calendar is called Sepandarmaz. When Sepandar Mazgan day coincides with Sepand month (Esfand) the day is celebrated.
