MOAWIN FOUNDATION’ S FARAZ NAQVI’ S FAVORITE NAVRUZ MEMORY

“ Family members decorate eggs with vibrant colors and designs and present them to children and youth. They then play traditional games such as egg tapping, where participants gently knock their eggs against each other to see which one remains unbroken. The person whose egg cracks loses it to the winner. It is a lively and enjoyable activity that everyone looks forward to.”
