Tehran adorned with giant colored eggs

Marking the beginning of the Persian New Year, also known as Nowruz, visual artists have decorated Tehran with large colored eggs.

The Municipality of Tehran provided parks and large squares in the city with statues of giant white eggs and invited artist to paint or drew colorful design on them.

A large number of young visual artists welcomed the move by the Municipality of Tehran to inject vibrancy through cheerful shapes into the society.

Coloring eggs before and during Nowruz is an old Iranian tradition to welcome the New Year.
