Goldfish for Haftseen in photos

Getting closer to Nowruz, the Persian New Year, the sale of goldfish for Haftseen has been booming all around Iran.

One of the most crucial items in the Haftseen (a table of seven items with the initial sound of /s/) is a bowl of goldfish.

The traditional Haftseen symbolizes life, fertility, and love.

All members of the Iranian family gather around the table at moment of the beginning of the New Year.

Here are some photos from the goldfish markets around the country.
